Is the current industrial model of schooling capable of preparing young people for modern working life? This book provides an unsettling picture of the challenges young people face following the uncertainty of the Global Financial Crisis. It asks whether teachers and schooling are able to provide the skills needed in a contemporary global economy.

Lucas Walsh is Associate Dean (Berwick) and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, Australia. He was previously Director of Research and Evaluation at The Foundation for Young Australians. He has held four research fellowships and been invited to advise local, state and federal governments.
