About 20 people were in attendance. It was one of nine regional events aimed at explaining the status of education today in Halton - free of educational jargon. While educators are spending more time on the "basics", reading, writing and math, "They simply wouldn't be nearly enough" for the future, said Williams. Now there are new, additional basics, said the director noting the climate of future change - that 25% of all knowledge will become obso- lete rendering fact-teaching a selec- tive process. In the next 25 years, Finding what's relevant can be puzzling to educators tive process. In the next 25 years, adults will change jobs every four years. that one edition of the New York Times contains more infonna- tion than one person saw in a life- time in the 17th century, that scien- tific information is doubling every l8 months - and most dramatic, that 90% of what we'll see in the year 2000 has yet to be invented. "What then is relevant to teach today? It's a real dilemma for us," he said. "If we want our children to have the same kind of success our genera- tion experienced there's going to have to be a dramatic change in h )ur Student hat manuals , l' My answe mo rm han efinitive unsw Education dirt ould make at ( ucators are spending 1 the "basics", reading, math, "They simply nearly enough" for the ‘ompete '. at be inL' Work Place 5 speed. am/tm stereo Cass, power windows & locks. factory wamEty, Ms No.A80§90§A. 5 spd.. 7w spoiler, ABS, an moo We, fat WM lots Io Sm M Mr) 'T6,sms 1902 HONDA ACCORD EXR OAKVILLE HONDA 844-9831 1991 HONDA CIVIC CRX Sl $12,975 H0,99S ‘13,495 ‘19,995 " 9,990 " 6,495 'T,9SO 1991 HONDA ACCORD EXR 1989 TOYOTA COROLLA 1992 HONDA PRELUDE SR 1990 HONDA CIVIC SI 1990 HONDA ACCORD EX 1989 HONDA ACCORD EX P529 mavbe HE OAK VILLE BEAVER tt H 1ll0n oao 1n )b schools today," said Williams.

Giving a short history lesson on the "factory model" schools most adults grew up with, Williams noted the schools were places in which stu- dents were taught to be obedient and conformist - the qualities which conformist - the quz often guaranteed them and a decent living. 50 Today, employers don't want those qualities, according to Williams. He highlighted a Conference Board of Canada study which put together an “Employability Skills Profile."

The director also looked at Halton facts versus myth - like Halton’s 4.7% drop out rate versus the often quoted 30% provincial drop out rate.

Williams looked to math testing that put Halton students just behind Japan - and after accounting for the Japan - and after accounting for the fact that about 95% of students are still in school in North America by the end of high school versus the "cream of the crop" students in other countries, that Halton students "stack up as the best in the world." "The reality is we're doing a bet- ter job with more students. The prob- lem is that what we used to do is no longer enough," said Williams. birthdays.
