Usually not foss and rather expensive.

Not really. There's even English classes in remote Africa. It's FOSS because textbooks and dictionaries exist.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno where you live where textbooks are free and not proprietary.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're not free, they're accessable.

Do you know what FOSS even means?

[–] rogrodre@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good bit, spelling accessible wrong was the cherry

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Were you trying to make a point or just gave up, because I've literally never seen anywhere without free education. Unless you're talking about higher education which isn't being discussed here.
