What Did You Learn Today?: Creating an Education Revolution

If Australians are so smart why are we losing the international education race? More important, what should the community do about this? What can teachers, parents and students do about this? And does it matter anyway? Mark Latham answers these questions and more. He explains how nothing matters more to our future than the education of our people. He shows why education has become our best economic policy as well as our best social program. He argues that the debate about education needs to move past the barren struggle between markets and states, between 'progressives' and 'traditionalists'. He shows us how we can seize the opportunities around us to become a learning society. And spread the benefits of education to every section of the community. BACKWARD NATION OR CLEVER COUNTRY? THE CHOICE IS OURS.
