OUTLOOK OF COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES & EDUCATION 15 YEARS

FROM NOWThe future of Education

ByJerry Palmer

Programs need to be able to respond dynamically to changes and to facilitate,

not inhibit learning between professionals involved in different pathways.

(Macleod Clark 2003)

There will be a need to provide flexible models of education that addresses change in

• Funding mechanisms• Enable life long learning

• Integrate work based learning• Recognize transferable skills

• Select experiences• Ensure high quality teaching

• Fay Valentine, (The future of Education), Nursing Management

In spite of advances in education, there are some concerns:

• Development of disciples in higher education• Ability to shape their own resources

• Increasing work load• Perception there’s no cohesion in higher education

There will need to be assessments done to provide authoritative and comprehensible quality rating for

all disciplines carried out in education.Fay Valentine, (The Future of Education), Nursing

Global Panaceas

Through out the world, humans learn much the same way, bureaucrats ought to base their advice

on what common factors are rather than some abstract system that are bi products of media

driven culture.

There's a clash of aspirations, one hand would order who create complex models that bear little resemblance to classroom events, the other comparative education specialists who want to jet set around the

world to give advice, but they do not provide knowledge on how students can master

more efficiently skills needed for a good lifeJason Beech, (Global Panaceas, local

realities; International agencies and the future of education), Book Review

Lessons from Mental Health

Article list some key phrases:• Influence of culture

• Diversity• Balance

• Most effective when fully integrated• Increasingly expensive & unsustainable• Politicians respond to media pressure

• Federal government perpetuating problem

We have a sickness model not a wellness model, a system driven not a client or community driven, we have the educators / leaders responding to

vested interests and agendas

We need a global initiative for all: rebuild with new technologies, use lessons from the past

that work, balance between traditional education and community based needs;

reconceptualising into a new paradigm, which replaces the education centrality of services provided on limited extent, with a shift to

community-centered services becoming the modality.
