The review by Johanna Wyn of the University of Melbourne was prompted by papers delivered at last year’s ACER Research Conference held in Brisbane on the theme of Touching the Future: Building skills for life and work.
The review draws on contemporary research to explore the goals of Australian education and how schools should prepare young people for work and life in the 21st century. “Secondary schools that were built all over Australia in the 1950s still stand as a reminder of the thinking that informed educational design at that time,” Wyn writes.
