I think this speaks to how little is known and how poorly education projects have been promoted, especially outside the US and Canada. There is even the assumption on the part of many that this is the purview of chapters.
The Education Program has just convened an Education Cooperative with representatives from education projects in various parts of the world. Article in the Education newsletter (yes there is one) is here http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/March_2014/Education...

If Universities or GLAMs want to talk about our best practices for running open knowledge projects that include Wikimedia projects, they ought to be asking some of the many people who have successfully delivered these projects.
Tip: ** Always recommend they visit https://outreach.wikimedia.org ** plenty of contacts and useful case studies are maintained there, both for GLAMs and education.
