Gonski Report
report of the review to achieve educational
excellence in Australian schools
“School education must also prepare students for a complex
and rapidly changing world. As routine manual and administrative
activities are increasingly automated, will require a higher level of skill,
and more school leavers will need skills that are not easily replicated by
machines, such as problem-solving, interactive and social skills, and
critical and creative thinking.”
