"Building skills for life and work" - Book

Education Review explores the goals of Australian education and of how schools should prepare young people for work and life.

This book brings together two stories: one relating to the ways in which young people’s worlds have changed radically over the last three or four decades; the other relating to the growing gap between the skills that we try to equip young people with, through processes of formal education, and those skills that they need to build a future for themselves
