WiseTech founder and CEO Richard White is planning a major shake-up of the education sector to make science, technology and maths more enjoyable, failing which he warns the sector’s lucrative tech jobs and start-ups will move offshore.

Mr White, speaking to The Australian Financial Review after ranking second on the 2022 Rich Bosses list to be published on Friday, is also urging the prime minister’s jobs summit to get behind a quick fix to help recycle millions of computers thrown out each year by corporate Australia.
