My name is Endre Szász, and I am the president of the Linux in the

Schools section of the Linux-Users Group in Hungary. By the assignment

of the Prime-ministers Office and the European Union's IDA project, I

am

working on a study, that presents the current status of how Linux is

tought in the European Union. I am interested especially in the adult

training, but I am interested in the other trainings too. I need to

examine every country's situation in this matter, but I need your help,

to do this situation examination for the United Kingdom.



Please, try to answer for me the following questions, even if you give 
me approximate numbers : (If you feel

yourself unable to answer these questions, please forward this mail to

someone, who you think it is competent answering questions like this).
