Santosh Mehrotra - a keynote speaker
Our annual ACAL conference provides practitioners and managers with a chance to explore provision in the context of wider developments and initiatives globally and locally. This year's conference will offer many opportunities to do this.
We'd like to introduce Professor Santosh Mehrotra, a human development economist, whose research and writings have had most influence in the areas of labour/employment, skill development, child poverty and the economics of education - all areas underpinned by a sound knowledge of the issues central to our conference - language, literacy and numeracy.
His research interests have spanned industry and trade issues, the informal sector, and the economics of health and education. Professor Mehrotra has lived on three continents and travelled to 63 countries providing policy making expertise and expert technical advice to governments. He brings extensive professional experience to our 40th ACAL conference. We look forward to hearing how his insights will draw attention to shared interests and opportunities for Australian provision.
