We need to encourage the further development of the local education
ecosystem with focus on knowledge creation and it is up to the students
to decide which platform they choose.

There has been a lot of negative reaction towards open source from the
students and that's why choosing the technology platform should be
neutral.

As such, to focus on the development of innovative students and
knowledge industry growth, we should be neutral.

Platforms are tools and we should be neutral because in the end, tools
are just tools.

Remember, it's about choice. Let the market decide. Whichever
technology platform that is chosen, be it proprietary or open source,
does not matter as long as the end result is neutral.
