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,

Well, then I guess we have a huge task ahead of us in terms of sorting out 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.
