Knowledge Economy Implications For Higher Education http://www.theschooldaily.com/articleView.asp?articlePK=15220 Professor Lauchlan Chipman, an Australian tertiary reform analyst and scholar will visit New Zealand from 26 August - 1 September as a guest of the Education Forum to discuss the knowledge economy, higher education and the market. Professor Chipman, who delivered the 2001 Annual John Bonython Lecture on behalf of Australia's Centre for Independent Studies, will discuss the implications of the knowledge economy for education. He says the trend towards near universal higher education requires a massive increase in investment in education, particularly higher education. However he rejects the suggestion that the investment has to come from government. He argues that one option to cope with growing student numbers is to open higher education to for-profit commercially driven universities.
