The system forces them into using unlicenced software. For instance, if a 14 years old pupil gets an assigment that requires Excel or Word or whatever, this forces him - or his parents for that matter - to spend over 500 euros on software (Windows and Office). In a country where an avarage worker gets about 270 euros per month. Open Source software should be promoted in schools... The bad thing is that the only thing students hear about is Microsoft.
