Well, the only (and excellent!) argument to prefer Trisquel GNU/Linux over Ubuntu is its commitment to Free software. As a consequence, the documents you are looking for are those explaining why schools should only use Free software. There is this famous text by Richard M. Stallman: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/schools.es.html (translation in Spanish) and this shorter version by Jean Peyratout: http://fsfe.org/projects/education/argumentation.es.html (translation in Spanish too).
Yes, if he is looking for "technical" reasons why you should use Trisquel GNU/Linux vs Ubuntu there aren't many. If you look at the relationship between the two Ubuntu is the upstream provider. Meaning Ubuntu will have the technical improvements first. Also any "technically powerful" but proprietary software is removed. So any proprietary technology will be taken out.
The reason however for choosing Trisquel is not a technical but a moral one. Magic Banana already posted links to the arguments.
Thank you very much guys. I wil send those links and comments to the
government oficial.
It would be great to make a marketing campaign including artwork and
documentation specifically for Trisquel.
