Publisher's Synopsis
In this deliberately provocative statement about the greatest challenge facing Australia in the 21st century - education - Mark Latham examines why the country is losing the international education race and what can be done about it. He explains why nothing matters more than the education of the people and shows why education has become Australia's best economic policy as well as the best social programme. Latham identifies new approaches and working models in use in the US, UK, Singapore and Scandinavia and challenges virtually every conventional idea about education options.
