Below is my Wednesday e-mail which was denied from the conversation because I sent it from an incorrect adress:

Congratulations to Israel and Serbia!

Now comes the tough job for you, though! You have to prove to the public & to the teachers that Wikipedia is actually worth having in the school curriculum. The worst scenario is teachers and parents going crazy about the latest government's invention. You should really make Wikipedia as beneficial to the students as possible, and you also need to prepare the community for an enormous workload!

Not an easy job, but worth working for!

Good luck both of you, and I will be looking forward to the first results.

excellent news! congratulations!

Did you guys see Israel is also to get Wikipedia included in the curriculum of public schools?  Sorry for crossposting in case it has been shared here: http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=18059

I'm really excited to hear and learn more about these initiatives, though I'm really concerned about our limitations in the Brazilian education system.

Hello everyone! 
I am honored to inform you that several months of integrating Wikipedia into primary and secondary schools in Serbia has finally paid off!

After the Ministry has prescribed that from September 2014 all students of the second year of secondary school curriculum must study wiki tools, Institute for the Improvement of knowledge and education has included a course on Wikipedia in its catalog of programs of continuous professional development of teachers, professors and other school personnel. We got accreditation for two years. Not a lot applicants got accreditation.

This course will start in December.



first challenge we successfully crossed :) next will come. 

I started writing blog post about this and hope it will be ready on 20 June. 

If you have some questions I will be happy to answer you :)
