Hello,
recently Wikimedia Czech Republic was involved into the creation of the
Czech Republic digital education strategy for 2020. This strategy is being
created from comments of different involved parties (NGOs, corporate and
public). It is a basis for a creation of laws and other documents by Czech
Ministry of Education and other related organisations. Czech education is
basically public, while some private schools (on all levels), should repect
some basic education corpus set by the Ministry.
Unfortunately for Wikipedia, this strategy and the previous ones are based
on decentralization of digital education resources. So WMF projects, could
not be the only one digital resources for Czech students. This push as to
the open market, where we are disadvantaged, because corporate and maybe
some other entities could get the best marketers/sellers of their products
and be more succesfull in getting more students for their digital products.
Responsable people understand that NGOes might be handicapped in such
markets as they are usually good in what they do, but they are not good in
marketing. Here we are looking for a functional system, which would place
equality between corporate and NNO sector. And thats why, I am writing to
you. Any idea, how the "offical recommendation" could support NNO projects
such as Wikipedia?
