Wikipedia to be studied in New South Wales from 2009
Posted by Vincent Isles at Monday, May 26, 2008The Board of Studies of New South Wales, Australia, has included Wikipedia as one of the texts available for study in its "Global Village" English electives, according to The Age.
The new syllabus will be implemented from 2009-2012, and certain parts of Wikipedia will be one of the four texts available in the elective. The other three candidates are the novel The Year of Living Dangerously, the play A Man with Five Children, and the modern classic film The Castle.
Teachers have the option which text is studied, so it might not be Wikipedia after all.
