At least in Uruguay, and by some definition, Linux is part of the school education. All public schools students have an XO, running Linux, Sugar as desktop environment, mesh networking, and a bunch of educational apps, including Scratch (not very explored in class unfortunately) and Turtle Art, that is also used to explore robotics in schools with the project Butia. But linux per se is not the central target. But i would trade that for what they are actually learning, specially at their age. It leaves the door open to exploration, and so far 2 students from here already won the google code-in for activities related with Sugar.
