A Swiss–South African co-operation between the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) and UCT’s Intellectual Property (IP) Unit, in partnership with Wikimedia Switzerland and the Africa Centre based in Cape Town, led to a new National Research Foundation-funded research project in 2013. The Wikipedia Primary School Project seeks to bridge a previously identified gap between existing Wikipedia content and the requirements for successfully completing the cycle of primary education in selected African countries. The project will analyse and evaluate existing content on Wikipedia and enrich it with new content relevant to primary education where necessary, as well as foster the development of translations.
