Future generations are sure to understand the quality of one of the country\u2019s most important export sectors.\xa0

The Wool in Schools programme is expanding across primary schools this month, highlighting the insulating, thermo-regulating, and moisture wicking properties of natural, locally gown wool.\xa0

Plus, a tertiary pilot programme called Wool Dynamics is encouraging students to bring their own innovative ideas for the industry to the table. \xa0

GM for Campaign for Wool NZ Kara Biggs told Mike Hosking that while wool is in a bit of a tough position at the moment, there is a whole lot of optimism and positivity as well.\xa0

She said that they\u2019re pretty excited about their new education programme, but they\u2019re really putting pressure on themselves to increase the size of it, bringing wool to more schools.\xa0
