TES weak on sustainability

[Samuel Mann]

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
