Before the Danish government announced its move, Denmark's largest cities, Copenhagen and Aarhus, had already announced plans to phase out Microsoft software and cloud services. Here's why.
A couple dozen of Danish municipalities are working on replacing Google and Microsoft entirely in schools with a project called OS2Skole (skole meaning “school”). It’s expected to save them around €3 million in yearly and the intention is to de-Googleify and de-Microsoftify children already from an early age and to make it open source.
There is a out of the box product for that available,btw:
The UCS@school environment does exactly what they want, using only Open source products. It basically joins OpenLDAP,Samba,Keycloak,etc. together.
Works both with Windows as well as Linux clients.

Mind you that the project was started before Trump got re-elected.
Im Danish and had no clue about this, even though Im rather interested in open source.
Thanks for sharing.
