Terry Anderson describes the 'leadership envy' he feels when visiting forward-looking New Zealand. "New Zealand is doing a great job of supporting the development of high quality teaching and learning in tertiary education," he writes. "By contrast in Canada we have no National support for teaching and learning at any level and none of the provinces come close to matching the resources and services available in New Zealand." I will add that the next time a Canadian government wants to spend $85 million on education, they should talk to me (of course, they never will, because I actually would make some changes).
