My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the OECD report Education at a glance 2006, which concluded that a one-year increase in the average level of education of the workforce would boost economic growth by one per cent. Does the Prime Minister agree that there is a fundamental link between investment in education and productivity and growth in the economy?
