Tomorrow is the first edit-a-thon for the Wikipedia Primary School project - allowing students, families and teachers to find on Wikipedia the documentation necessary to obtain the primary school qualification in their country, in their language.

Wikipedia is meant to be an educational tool and it is currently available online, via mobile phones and offline. Experiences have shown that, once accessible, Wikipedia does not provide information that responds directly to curriculum-based questions. The project relies on Wikipedia as an existing and growing resource, it solves the need for an encyclopedia capable of responding to curriculum-based questions, and it fosters Wikipedia content, quality and outreach.

For more information, please visit the Wikipedia Primary School Edit-a-thon website https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_South_Africa/Wikipedia_ Primary_School/Edit-a-thon_1 .

We look forward to seeing you there.
