Thanks for the link, srik.lak! But from reading that post, certain alarming questions arise.
What exactly is Wikipedia Education Programs? How does it work? Does it provide a private workspace to EP participants in Wikipedia completely invisible to other editors? Why are sock-puppets encouraged? What elevated permissions are being provided to EP members? Will the community be able to transparently oversee content introductions by Education Programs?
Warm regards,
