Gleducar
Started in 2002, Gleducar is a community of educators, students, and activists that self-organize around several educational issues and projects. It was declared of National Interest by the Senate of Argentina three years later and is considered one of the most important open educational projects in Argentina. The community is supported by Gleducar's nonprofit/NGO status that exists to "meet the interests and needs of the community." [1] Community initiatives revolve around building a repository of open educational resources (OER), promoting more open intellectual property and educational policies, encouraging the use of free technologies and distributed networks, open access, and educational innovation in general.

"All the different provinces (except Oslo, the capital area) joined together to take some of the money the state transfers to them to ensure free access to textbooks for Norwegian students, and uses it to develop digital resources (or purchase from publishers or other producers) that are released under CC BY SA. They have existed for a few years, and have produced a very large amount of materials."
Here's an example, this is their English materials (for high school students): http://ndla.no/en/node/42
