Mahesh, please point to links that describe the current curriculum for computer science for IT@School. History is repeating itself again, in TN now :)
IT@School does not seem to have the curriculum at their website. I can see if I can get a hard copy which I can mail to you. http://www.education.kerala.gov.in/itschool/
Elcot should be asked to do what Keltron has already done for Kerala:
<quote from www.keltron.org> Involved in the introduction of GNU History in curriculum of IT@School project. Involved in the introduction of GNU Linux Operating System to new Curriculum. Supplied Hardware with preloaded GNU Linux Operating system and other Applications to IT@ school project. Training in GNU LINUX platforms for government employees and other organisations Various training courses on GNU Linux and other free software tools Various training courses on GNU Linux and other free software tools like PHP, Perl, Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. </quote>
In a way, much of this was possible partly because Arun has close links with Keltron, and because there was somebody who was genuinely interested. We may not be so fortunate everywhere.
Wish you all success in Chennai.
