[Osia-members] ICT in Education

[Daniel Jitnah]

Hi all,

Of possible interest these articles below both comment on the need for 
much better ICT education (same source).  For OSIA of course, the 
comments made in there are very much in line with the submission made to 
ACARA in July last year by OSIA.  OSIA stressed the need for a higher 
standard of ICT education starting in the secondary education sector.

Nice to see the relevance of OSIA's submission in the larger context.   
Note also that in 2013, OSIA has a new Education portfolio.


Cheers
Daniel.
