Educational Futures
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay discussing educational futures in Australia. Australia already holds a unique position to continue to grow in and then maintain a position of primary importance in the Pacific Rim, and even act as intermediary between Oriental neighbors and those nations of its European ancestry. The education of the next and subsequent generations of business people, legislators and diplomats needs to be accomplished with a world view that still maintains the national flavor and pride of Australia, but still takes into account the differences of culture and ideology found in other parts of the world.

[ send me this paper ]

With much of the world clamoring for increased free trade, there remains a debate over just how beneficial free trade really is. Protectionism is far less acceptable now than in the past, but there are indications that it would like to return if those fully opposed do not persist in resisting it.

Emerging Views on School Vouchers and School Choice
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper discussing the steady gains being made in approval of the concept of using tax-funded vouchers for families to place their children in schools of their own choice, even private ones and even religious-based private schools. The goal is to improve true educational outcomes and to provide approaches to education that can work for all students, rather than only some percentage of them. Without the intrusion of crisis, there is little reason to change the status quo in any area, whether that area be business, personal relationships or public school structure. The voucher debate presents that crisis point from which public schools can begin to be truly reformed and lifted out from under the burden of bureaucracy. All can benefit, but none more than our children who deserve the best education we can provide. The current situation is far from the 'best,' a point on which supporters and opponents of vouchers can heartily agree. Bibliography lists 22 sources.
