The KDE Education Project (or KDE-Edu project) develops free educational software based on the KDE technologies for students and parents. These educational software is translated into more than 65 languages, so that users can access them without any problems. The KDE-Edu project also provides free software educational to support and facilitate teachers in planning lessons.

The KDE-Edu project is available for BSD and Linux; Microsoft Windows support is in beta.[https://edu.kde.org/windows/index.php KDE-Edu on Windows] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412003028/https://edu.kde.org/windows/index.php |date=2022-04-12 }}: "...KDE-Edu has nearly no bugs left and is already usable for bleeding-edge users"
