[Design and Technology] Keeping you up to date

[Tran, Lorraine I]

Dear Colleagues 

 

You may be interested in looking at the following documents released
recently:

 

The Future of Schooling in Australia report is available at
www.education.vic.gov.au/about/news/newsalerts/adelaidedeclaration.htm 

Note Cross disciplinary learning area list includes technology (ICT and
design) as part of a broad and comprehensive curriculum (page 28).

 

The STATE GOVERNMENT launched its 2007-08 BUDGET this week. The brochure
over viewing components relevant to education highlights an 'engaging
vision for Victorian education' and 'a new generation of schools'. See
www.education.vic.gov.au/about/publications/budget/budget2007.htm

Note $50m to redevelop 30 technical wings at Secondary schools and to
renew equipment at all secondary schools. (I presume government
schools.)

 

Regards, Lorraine.
