Slobodan softver otvorenog izvornog koda u osnovnom obrazovanju u Republici Hrvatskoj

Although the Curriculum for the primary education in the Republic of Croatia does not recommend any specific software for teaching informatics in the primary education, informatics textbooks consider only the commercial proprietary software based on Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office family of operating systems and applications. In 2008 The Ministry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic of Croatia (MZOS) paid the amount of 20 million kunas (almost 3 million euros) for the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office licences for the entire public administration, almost 30 thousand computers. At a time of global recession, the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) (e.g. operating system GNU/Linux, office applications OpenOffice.org and other) are gaining importance since there are no license fees and their capabilities are very similar to capabilities of the commercial proprietary software. By the introduction of the free and open source software considerable savings can be achieved, the teachers and students can get the free software alternative and the illegal software proportion can be lowered.
