ABSTRACT
In many communities in the western world, people are now making a considerable number of career moves in their lifetime. These changes are occurring in a context that is altering so rapidly that the technology of the day is often obsolete almost as soon as it is applied. In the last decade much attention has been given to the notion of lifelong learning. We have idealised it as a goal for all forms of education to strive to reach. Yet our schools have made little progress towards making those fundamental changes that are necessary if each person is to understand, accept, and pursue the process of lifelong learning.
