OUTCOMES BASED EDUCATION PRODUCING WRONG OUTCOMES

It suggests that Australia's outcomes-based eduction system may be responsible for poor results in maths and science, and recommends that Australian curriculum be regularly checked against international benchmarks.

But Victorian Education Minister Lynn Kosky says she is surprised by the report's findings.

"In Victoria we've got completion of year 12 or its equivalent at 86 per cent and we want to increase that," she said.

Big deal, quantity has nothing to do with quality. Take my word on this, Outcomes Based Education is a con.
