While were talking about education, lets chew upon this. The Education Policy team are currently looking hard at the Finnish system, as referred to in this article. A hard-hitting quote to give you an appetite for some heavy reading: Today global competition and ‘free trade’ agreements have destroyed entire Australian industries and shifted well over a hundred thousand jobs overseas. Losses continue unabated in the tens of thousands every year, in a process that appears to be entirely supported by the government.[5] In that environment, we do not need compliant workers and consumers, we need a generation of entrepreneurs, visionaries, scientists, engineers and collaborative workers who can pull together to change the face of the country. We need a generation of Australians who can work to build the huge amount of new infrastructure we need, who can develop new industries and reorganize the existing ones to work for the nation’s future. We need a generation of Australians who can join in large, collaborative organizations to make sure we use every last capability in the country for the benefit of all. The current education system in operation is utterly incapable of providing any of these results. It would instead leave Australia a gutted country of mine workers and middle management run by foreign corporations for the benefit of foreign investors.
