country studies / school system overview

Hello,

since we are an european organisation, we need to get an overview about how 
the countries and regions handle ICT in the education branch.
Please share insights from your country. 

How is the school system organised? Is it very hierachical so that the only 
way of sucess is to get in contact with the minister? Or could the headmasters  
decide about ICT quite freely?
Which level of administration is probably the most interesting for us to 
approach?
Do you know teachers who are trying to implement Free Software at their 
schools? Are there larger, interconnected groups?

Please feel free to also add questions or broaden the scope of your reply.
