They do have some latency or slowness issues, but couldn't find like whole system down thing,
Like in one of the comments here, reminded me of 2017 incident,

They should have improved a lot by now, but still I am curious, why such large or frequent downtimes are happening to GitHub. Is it due to making it more open for teams with Private repos, and more perks along with quarantine and WFH things
It is Kendriya Vidyalaya[1], chain of Central Government Schools in India, so they have almost one school in almost in a district of a state. or sometimes two or three in the state depending on Population Density.
So at that time Syllabus is something like this[2], it is not exactly same, almost same and I think this was overall pattern of that[2], now it is again revamped[3].
At our time it was more like 4 hours theory/week and 1.5/2 hours lab sessions(which sometimes becomes theory).
Open framework surely looks promising, so do the manifesto,
At that point, I think I was mostly self-driven with the goal of making "it works" with little to no knowledge of security aspects of things. If I am doing the same thing now I would be knowing how to do, how to "Google", and also the right place to ask, but at that time I think I wasn't aware, I do also think this or even worse is the situation of school students at least here because there is no exposure to things and the bright side of the Internet.
Also, for this to solve, one thing we can do is start FOSS and cybersecurity Clubs and build a culture among them through various ways like competitions, workshops, code-sprints, hackathons, CTFs and lot more which can be solved.
Keeping that in mind, from our uni we have Started CTF competitions and bootstrapping them through workshops,
It was taught in Turbo C++, Syllabus was very basic ones which has basic i/o, file stream, loops, etc.
So at that time, wanted to explore something out of box, and for the 12th Grade Project, School did restrict to only Turbo C++ at that time, so the thing which was most possible solution was to hack around with that and having a mouse pointer and a GUI was a pinnacle moment at that time when the resources was limited.
But now School's Board of Examination (CBSE) did change syllabus to Python did move to Python scraping C++.
