  4. Equipping Young New Zealanders to thrive in the Asian Century. The Why? The How? The What?

  5. The world has changed!

  6. We live in a world defined by change The past decade has been one of exponential growth and change - in 10 years we've seen the emergence of Facebook, Twitter and iPhones. The population of the planet reached seven billion. We experienced the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression. Change in the next few years looks set to occur at an even faster rate. Are schools preparing our kids for what lies ahead? NZ Herald Sunday 27 January 2013

  7. What is the Asian Century? • European 19th Century • American 20th Century • Asian 21st Century? Asia to become the centre of global economic activity

  8. A child starting school now will enter the workforce around 2030. What changes will happen in the world between now and 2030?

  9. A ‘tectonic shift’

  10. Asia accounts for 40% of our total exports of goods. Twice as many goods are exported to Asia than Europe and USA combined. China has now passed Australia to become our most important export market. Total exports to China have increased more than three time since 2008.

  11. Our Dairy Industry is our biggest export earner (13.7 billion or 29% of all exports). Over a third of our dairy exports now go to Asian countries.

  12. Inbound tourism is our second-biggest export earner after the dairy industry. Over 20% of our tourists now come from Asia.

  13. Almost one in four (23.1%) Aucklanders are of Asian decent. By 2021, almost one in three (30%) Aucklanders will be of Asian descent. By 2026, the Asian population (15.8%) in New Zealand will almost be the same as the Maori population (16.2%).

  14. If education is preparing our young people for their future then we need to realise that the future has changed…

  15. ‘The sort of education • we had at school… • …is no longer • appropriate for the • Asian(21st) Century.

  16. If we want our young people to thrive in a global world environment… …where technology and change are the norm; where many existing jobs will be out-sourced overseas or completed through new technology; where Asia is the dominant economic, social and cultural power in the world; where many of the best jobs in the future currently don’t exist; where knowledge is readily available at a swipe of a screen and quickly becomes outdated by new knowledge… …our young people needs a specific set of skills, attributes and attitudes.
