MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 28th July 2008

Universities

Universities need to change from providing information to developing skills.

These skills would include: information skills, Thinking skills, people skills, management skills, operational skills, project skills etc.

The 'road map' concept of education is no good enough. It is not enough to provide road maps of knowledge. You need to teach the skills of choosing the best route and the skill of driving itself.
