Education is a major instrument for
economic growth and poverty reduction. Rapid changes in
technology, globalization and economic reforms are creating
dramatic shifts in the structure of economies and labor
markets throughout the world. The challenges of the future
lie with confronting traditional limitations within a
rapidly changing environment. This transformation has
already occurred in advanced economies and increasingly so
in Latin America. Colombia's great challenge is how to
become an active member of this new global society, the
information and knowledge society. These changes imply that
the role of tertiary education must also shift. While
tertiary education's traditional role has been to train
students for employment through the transmission of
knowledge and by providing basic research, it must add to
these tasks the training of adaptable workers and supporting
the continued expansion of knowledge. An enhanced tertiary
education sub-sector enabled to respond to society's
increasing needs for high quality human capital must count
on dynamic capacity for monitoring and evaluation, and
disseminate to all stakeholders information about tertiary
education its opportunities and costs, and include
information about labor market perspectives; it must cater
for students from all groups of the society by promoting
greater equity in access to university and technical
tertiary education and training. |
