Ubuntu EducationPack

Designed to help organize the educational process and provide the opportunity to organize quality training using modern information technologies.
Has high software security against viruses.

The out-of-the-box distributor provides a fully customized solution aimed at covering requests for educational institutions of all levels from preschool to university (junior, middle and senior classes of schools, lyceums, colleges, as well as higher education institutions such as institutes, universities and others).
The distribution includes a wide selection of pre-installed educational programs that are successfully used in different countries, covering such topics as: mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, geography, development, programming, electronics, graphics, video, music, multimedia, games for children's development, memory training, language learning.
Teacher-oriented tools for organizing the educational process are also included.

It is perfectly suited for installation on computers with limited Internet connection or located in a closed corporate network of an educational institution. It contains tools for deploying diskless workspaces for students.

Considering that a large number of educational programs are also available for Windows, the distribution package comes pre-installed with the WINE package, which will allow you to run them.

Diskless training spaces will allow you to use old (morally and technically obsolete) computers as full-fledged modern workstations (LTSP clients), which boot over the network without the need to install a system on them. In this case, the home directories of the users are located centrally on the teacher’s computer.

Thus, we strive to help and provide educational institutions with a cheaper alternative to expensive software that will meet all the necessary requirements and help in education and organization of the educational process.

Using EducationPack you get a wide selection of educational programs (which are free functional analogues of expensive software) and economic benefits.

Ubuntu EducationPack THIS IS:


educational programs for children of all ages on topics: astronomy, chemistry, programming, geography, mathematics, algebra, geometry, physics, electronics, graphics, music;
✔ tools for developing and teaching programming in various languages.

full-fledged office suite LibreOffice (texts, tables, presentations) (compatible with MS Office);
✔ support for importing MS Visio files;
✔ creation of databases and convenient work with them.

✔ the ability to run third-party educational programs designed for the MS Windows operating system.

✔ a wide range of programs for multimedia and creativity;
✔ creating and editing video, audio and graphic files of various formats.

✔ the ability to run a modern system on weak student computers (terminals) by using the power of the teacher’s computer (server), provided that stations are loaded over the network and student data is stored on the server.

✔ centralized classroom management, integration of student and teacher workplaces: broadcasting the teacher’s screen to students’ screens, remote launch of programs, etc.

✔ use of interactive whiteboards (both hardware and software) compatible with any projector and pointing device.

Ubuntu EducationPack is already connected to the UALinux repository with a large selection of additional software for work and education.


Most of the programs included in the Ubuntu EducationPack also exist for the Windows platform (and are included in our Windows EducationPack assembly)
This will facilitate the learning process when using them in the future on different platforms.

The distribution contains:

  • control of students' computers by the teacher;
  • a system of management and training online; collective teaching, learning and testing;
