Australians need to value languages more: Asia Education Foundation

Australia is in a potentially lucky position to be able to cushion its landing from the global economic downturn... as long as it acts NOW!

They've formed a new alliance and are wanting Australian students and their parents to shift their thinking and begin choosing more subjects related to ASIA! Kathy Kirby from the Asia Education Foundation explains why to Caroline Davey.
