Boyer Lectures
November 10, 2008 by GH
In the first of the 2008 Boyer lectures, Rupert Murdoch touched on the need to revitalise our education system.
In short, we have a 21st century economy with a 19th century education system, and it is leaving too many children behind. That is an injustice to these citizens, and it puts a future burden on Australian society.
In the second in the series he expands on this theme,
“Technology is making the human side of the business equation – skills and knowledge – more valuable than ever. But technology will do you no good unless you have men and women who know how to take advantage of it”.
I can’t argue with any of that. Do you think anyone is listening?
