Many schools, especially in developing regions, face challenges in delivering quality Computer Science education due to limited access to proprietary software and resources. Open-source software (OSS) offers a powerful alternative, yet its adoption in classrooms remains slow due to various barriers, including lack of awareness, training, and institutional support.

In this talk, I will share insights from my research on how Computer Science teachers in Namibian schools are integrating open-source tools like Python, Scratch MIT into their lessons. I will discuss the benefits of OSS in education, the challenges teachers face, and practical strategies for overcoming these barriers.

By the end of the session, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how open-source tools can make Computer Science education more accessible and engaging. Whether you're a teacher, developer, or advocate for open-source learning, this talk will provide practical takeaways for promoting OSS adoption in schools.
