The Center of the Knowledge Society

Education will become the center of the knowledge society, and schooling its key institution.

Throughout history, the craftsman who had learned a trade after five or seven years of apprenticeship had learned, by age eighteen or nineteen, everything he would ever need to use during his lifetime. Today the new jobs require a good deal of formal education and the ability to acquire and apply theoretical and analytical knowledge. They require a different approach to work and a different mind-set. Above all they require a habit of continuous learning.

What mix of knowledges is required for everybody? What is "quality" in learning and teaching? All these will, of necessity, become central concerns of the knowledge society, and central political issues. In fact, it may not be too fanciful to anticipate that the acquisition and distribution of formal knowledge will come to occupy the place in the politics of the knowledge society that the acquisition of property and income have occupied in the two or three centuries that we have come to call the Age of Capitalism.

知识社会的中心

教育将成为知识社会的中心，而学校将成为其关键机构。

在历史上，工匠经过五到七年的学徒训练后，到十八九岁时就已经掌握了其一生所需的全部技能。而今天的新工作需要大量的正规教育，以及获取和运用理论与分析知识的能力。这要求一种不同的工作方式和思维模式，最重要的是，需要持续学习的习惯。

每个人需要怎样的知识组合？学习与教学的“质量”是什么？这些问题必然会成为知识社会的核心关注点，并成为核心政治议题。事实上，可以预见，正规知识的获取与分配，将在知识社会的政治中占据与过去两三百年资本主义时代中财产与收入分配同样的重要地位。
