Invitational Seminar on the Delors Report: "Learning--The Treasure Within" (Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, November 17, 1998).
Flinders Univ., Adelaide. Inst. of International Education.
This document contains information about, from, and related to a seminar that was convened to bring together senior members of all sectors of education with representatives of business to examine the "UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) Report on Education for the 21st Century" (also known as the Delors Report). "Introduction" (John P. Keeves) presents an overview of the seminar's purpose, which was to extend the original idea of Learning to Be into four pillars underlying education and life, which are as follows: learning to be, learning to know, learning to do, and learning to live together. A list of seminar participants is provided. "Education for the 21st Century: A South Australian Perspective" (G. Spring) examines the following topics: the significance of the Delors report; the purpose, outcomes, and recommendations of the Melbourne conference "Education for the 21st Century in the Asia Pacific Region"; the conference's significance in shaping new policy initiatives and directions in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region; and directions for Australian education in the 21st century. A seminar discussion is provided that focuses on the following themes: globalization, identity, citizenship, and values; education and the economic future of South Australia; new technologies; education and the world of work; adult lifelong learning; universities and research; and teachers and teacher education. Presented next are conclusions and recommendations. The following supporting papers conclude the document: "From Recurrent Education to Lifelong Learning" (R.J. Ryan); "Learning: The Treasure Within--An Introduction and Comment" (J.P. Keeves); and "Implications of the Delors Report for Schooling in South Australia" (G.R. Teasdale). (MN)
