Posted by Mark Bullen on October 13 2011 at 8:03 p.m.
The Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) has published their http://www.ccl-cca.ca/pdfs/CEOCorner/2010-10-11WhatistheFutureofLearninginCanada.pdf">final report on lifelong learning conditions in Canada. The report contains 71 pages, however the section on Post-Secondary Education is an interesting read, reporting on issues such as funding, quality of educators and troubling trends, which include:
- Losing ground in innovation, and research and
- development;
- Dilemma in male human capital;
- Immigrant skills not meeting labour-market needs;
- No national PSE strategy;
- No national quality-assurance system; and
- Fundamental data and information gaps on PSE.
"A national post-secondary strategy should possess three essential characteristics: clearly stated objectives, both general and for specific periods of time; measures to assess achievement of objectives; and a systematic goal of cohesion and coherence among all the facets—as is the case in the EU and other developed countries."
