May I suggest that we focus on a "pilot" project involving just a few
schools, in areas where we have volunteers? I think it would be a lot
simpler to set up, and we will all learn from the experience and be better
situated to plan a more comprehensive, nation-wide effort.
Regarding the lab/no-lab data, let me point out two things:
1. Shouldn't the ministry of education, and/or regional/local government's
departments of education, have such data ready? If so, we should focus on
retrieving this existing data.
2. What we most care about is the situation where computers exist, but
Internet connectivity is slow, expensive, or non-existent. Schools that
have good steady connection to the Internet don't need the offline
Wikipedia. Such schools, however, like all others, can certainly benefit
from a general How Wikipedia Works talk, or more specifically (and probably
an easier "sell" to school staff) How to Use Wikipedia Well in School Work.
Cheers,
Asaf

the schools that have labs...

Actually not all have labs... Some do and some dont.

Both. I think it's quite obvious that all private schools have labs.

Another thing, the list doesn't identify which of the schools have
computer
labs and which don't.
Ps: will we be targetting secondary or primary schools, or both
