In June 2007 the OpenEducationCD, on which the current version of the OpenEducationDisc is built, won the prestigious school projects award from the British educational charity, Teach First. Against tough competition from projects around the UK, the OpenEducationCD was judged to be making an impact in challenging Inner City schools by allowing students to access the curriculum without the need to buy educational licences. Building upon this success, over 600 CDs where given to current Teach First teachers across the UK to take into schools where open source software could make a huge impact.
