Education, Science and Public Policy
Ideas for an Education Revolution
Academic Monograph
Nine policy practitioners and educators shape the knowledge economy into bite-sized chunks for public policy debate.
Opinion
"We can be very glad we have Education, Science and Public Policy in any form. It is a collection of papers previously delivered as a series of public seminars at Melbourne University. Each is, in its own way and right, a valuable contribution to the public education revolution it aims to advance." (Australian Educator, Autumn 09)
