Abstract

This era of lifelong learning is a time when knowledge is increasing and changing rapidly. Focusing on implications for individuals and schools, this paper addresses issues such as the need for information literacy, the need to develop a questioning, reasoning and evaluating approach to learning appropriate generic competencies, and the importance of identity and learning how to learn.
