I'd have to disagree here. Teaching kids how to use Word and Excel will help them for the majority of office jobs out there.
Plenty of open source options that will teach them 90% of what most people will need to know. Taxpayer money should not be going to these corporations.
(Nothing really compares to Excel in some of its most terrible bugs either).
Having until August 3 to entirely complete the transition seems incredibly rough? How can that possibly be a reasonable situation? I'm absolutely all for privacy, but I also wonder if the EU alternatives (e.g. Tutanota as per article) will be able to withstand e.g. state sponsored attacks as well as Google.
Now let's ban MSFT Office365 too. It's of zero use to teach whatever to the kids.

I've been thinking of ditching Gmail for myself and my business, but what true alternatives are there? I already have O365, but am not particular keen on using Exchange. I'm basically only using Gmail and Calendar. Any e-mail providers based out of the EU, worth mentioning?

This line of thinking is poison and will only amplify the monopolisic power of whatever select companies make the taught-in-schools list.
Proprietary technology has no place in educational institutions.
This is basically European protectionism under the guise of privacy. My guess is that within a few years (or even sooner), you will be reading about a massive breach of student data from whatever alternative they choose to go with.
