- Summary:
-
This discussion paper focuses attention on the interrelationship between two issues--the unsatisfactory performance of New Zealand's economic system and slow changes in its education system--by examining the role of education and training in economic performance and development. It analyzes the views of a representative group of leaders across a wide spectrum of economic and social sectors. Its purpose is to provide pointers for policy and decision makers in New Zealand. A section on essential requirements points up inadequacies of the training scene and compares New Zealand training needs to those of western industrialized countries. Nine figures provide data on respondents and on respondents' attitudes regarding New Zealand's economic and educational success, educational aims, student attitudes, and opportunities for continued learning. This is followed by responses to questions regarding economic success. Other parts of this paper focus on respondents' views on educational costs and investments, the aims and achievements of the education and training system, youth entering the work force, community involvement and investment in education, and the importance of continuing education in New Zealand. Finally, the paper lists respondents' concerns that need to be addressed at a national level and recommends what can be done. A list of the aims of education in New Zealand is appended. (YLB)
