Rubert Murdoch & Australian PM Join Education Revolution

Yes, it's true, Rupert Murdoch and the Australian Prime Minister join the education revolution. See what PM Kevin Rudd said:

"An education revolution is our response, investing in the quantity of money we put into the education system, the quality of that investment." (Source)

Now, should be noted that they might mean different things then we mean when we talk about an education revolution.

No matter what you think of Rupert Murdoch - he's a "big picture guy", and he says some things that we at Supercool School have been vocal about for some time already. For example - that we are still stuck with a 19th century education system in the 21st century.

Maybe we should recruit Rupert for SCS? (Na, wouldn't work... that guy has a different vibe) ;-)

Something more serious... experts warn that some of the steepest price increases in college tuitions might be just around the corner - pushing education yet further out of reach for many. Government always likes to cut the edu-budget. That's just another reason to take things in our own hands.

(I just have a friend visiting from Guinea. Education is basically being run by NGOs from what she told me, because the politicians are busy "mange l'argent" (eating money). But internet connectivity is really good in Konakry and lots of young people start to get into IT. That might be a good sign - maybe Africa will soon have it's own "Bangalore" success stories).

Let's hope the whole program is a success..Investment in education has a more or less direct co-relation with a country's progress.
