Abstract
Across the world a number of trends in economic and social change has highlighted the need for policy makers and educators to reconsider their approach towards education. Factors such as the changing nature and patterns of employment, population and demographic change, labour force participation rates, changing types of jobs and their availability, changes in workplace skills and competences, technological change, the question of wages and remuneration, and globalization — have all set up a series of imperatives that are above and beyond the possibilities of their being addressed simply within the confines and time-scales of traditional patterns of learning, and the ‘front on’ provision of education & training.
