AUSTRALIAN universities are graduating a “plague of dunces” with little value or use to the modern workforce, academic and Roy Hill director Prof Ian Plimer has said.
Prof Plimer, who sits on the board of Gina Rinehart’s $10 billion iron ore play, also said Australia should not be scared to embrace “elitism” in education and move to restrict university places.
“We don’t need squillions of graduates coming out each year but what we do need are the best people,” he said.
“There is nothing wrong with being an elite Olympic athlete; there is nothing wrong with being an elite intellectual. We don’t need clones.”
