Restoring our Edge in Education

26 August 2007

Too many young Australians are being left behind by our school education system, a discussion paper released today by the Business Council of Australia has found.

The paper highlights that Australia is at risk of falling behind countries such as Finland, Japan and Korea when it comes to measuring key education outcomes in areas including maths and science learning and attainment.

In responding to this challenge, the paper identifies a five-point plan to overhaul school education so that every young Australian has access to a world-leading education system.
