Hi Alex, I think it is a great idea to have astronomy programs in schools and I know that some schools already have such programs.The astronomical society in the ACT is quite actively involved in going to schools with a number of scopes and introducing the students to the night sky
I remember back in 77, my school introduced an astronomy program which was run by my geology teacher. There was a total of 5 students and I had to lend my teacher my astronomy books so he had something to teach us.
I would have loved to be a professional astronomer myself but alas my maths was never good enough.
But on the other side of the coin I'm having a great time being an amateur and theres no pressure.
Cheers
