Draft Tertiary Education Strategy
Samuel Mann
Folks,
The draft Tertiary Education Strategy is out for consultation. It gives direction to NZ’s tertiary education for the next five years. The draft is weak on sustainability: it’s alluded to in the higher level statements but entirely missing in the directions for teaching and learning. As it stands, institutions will not see sustainability as an imperative, instead they’ll be driven entirely by productivity.
Here's my draft submission http://computingforsustainability.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/need-to-mobilise-submissions-for-sustainability-in-higher-education-nz/
(or in case it gets munched: http://tinyurl.com/yhx5ph7 )
Please:
1. Write something yourself. We have until 6th November to send submissions to tertiary...@minedu.govt.nz.
2. Prompt whatever organisations you belong to to include sustainability in their submission (folks are usually grateful for help, so send some words for them to use).
3. Forward this on to your other networks.Cheers
Samuel Mann
