SOCIAL TRENDS AND THEIR IMPACT ON QUEENSLAND EDUCATION
Learning to Live With Complexity
Don Edgar
This was a major consultation report for Queensland Education which guided reforms to Queensland’s schools. It has been used widely in other states to rethink the role of schools as ‘gathering places’ for children, parents and the wider community. It argues that we must learn to live with complexity and become a full learning society if we are to survive the challenges of a global age. Because human and social capital develop within families and through wider social networks, our schools must be re-conceptualised as just one part of the learning culture and become embedded in society in new ways.
