Abstract

Formal education today is under siege from four directions. Demographic trends have made the learning needs of those beyond the age of conventional schooling competitive with our traditional clientele. The revolution in communications is transforming our mode and concepts of teaching and learning. Affluence has given way to scarcity; retrenchment has become the inevitable order of the day as an expanding world population with an expanding claim to equal rights and equal privileges comes up against a finite rate of economic growth.
