Re: [Fsf-friends] C++ : Which is the standard compiler? Can't we use gcc?

Dear friends, please try to bring FS in HSS schools. Or just suggest and idea how to make studnets aware what is FS!

This is a good point that you have noted. Fortunately, in Kerala, the HSS syllabus is in a transition phase and the textbook is also being rewritten. In Kerala, the SCERT is now publishing textbooks for HSS also, which, hopefully, will include FS from next year onwards.

I had a discussion with teachers involved in HSS text book development. They agreed to look into this issue and take corrective steps next year.

BTW Vocational Higher Secondary School syllabus for Computer Applications course now includes, Inkscape, Gimp, Open Office, Blender, Kino etc..
