Knowledge Economy ... what knowledge economy???

Recent research has found that almost 10% of second level schools have been forced to drop Physics as a subject offered to students. The findings indicate that the decision is as a direct result of education cutbacks ... the very same education cutbacks supported by the Green Ministers and TD's.

The Irish Independent editorial also comments on this.

Next time we hear Minister Ryan talking about the "green economy" or the "knowledge economy" he should be asked how his direct support of education cutbacks helps to achieve either.
