There is an error of attribution in the following paragraphs.  The

schools in Madagascar."

curriculum guide written by a Peruvian teacher has been recently 
translated into French for schools to use it in Madagascar -- all 
further evidence of the great impact that the Ministry of Education 
(MEC)-OLPC project has had both domestically and globally.
