The objective of the competition is to give an opportunity to students to master and excel in the art of oratory by reading widely on subjects dealing with human values. To create interest in the study of the lives of great women and men who, often at enormous personal sacrifice, realise outstanding achievements which generations to come will emulate. These are people, including saints and sages from the whole world, who through their outstanding contributions enhanced the quality of life of all humanity. To cultivate in students the need for the great human values of truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence - the core of all major religions.

With the Australian Government's promise of an ‘Education Revolution' and the current review of higher education in full swing, what does the Australian public really think about our university system? How does the public perceive the availability of access to universities and the role of universities in preparing young Australians for the world of work? Is there public support for more Government funding for universities and how is their performance rated in comparison to other educational institutions?  Is a university education worth it in the eyes of Australians and how do Australian attitudes to higher education compare with other countries? ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Chubb AC addresses the key findings from the poll and identifies policy options that would enable effective Government responses to a number of public concerns.
