Challenges of a Knowledge
Based Society.

Education is developed in an environment

characterized by:

1. Presence of volatile, globalised economies,

2. More competitive labor markets,
3. High velocity of knowledge obsoletion,
4. Improved innovation in educational
methods,
5. New technologies, software & value added
benefits.
What is required?:
To generate new skills in educational controls.

To increase efficiency in distribution of

resources & in productivity in Educational
Processes.

Better coverage of student and teaching

communities.

An Answer when faced with the increase in

the rates of obsolesce of knowledge.

Beyond quality we must follow the path of technological innovations.

 Challenges of a Knowledge
Based Society

1. To maintain the capacity to respond 2. Urgency to lift the educational

quickly when confronted with curriculum to International levels.
external competitive changes, at a
country level.

What can we do?

1. Develop International Level Educational Technologies & Methods -

a real benefit if educators can apply these to the educational
process.

2. Develop Educational Innovations that foment teacher training in

new systems, methods, and abilities in the use of hardware and
software applications.
