Background • There is an acute understanding throughout all sectors of the pressures regarding new learning technologies. • Provision for education will be the biggest gg challenge g for most governments as they attempt to position themselves to generate more wealth and compete in the free global market. a et. • Bold steps have to be considered by states to provide their people with affordable access to education. • Using U i methods th d off mass education d ti will ill be b inevitable. i it bl Even E by using these methods, not all aspirations will be met. • Forbes magazine published not long ago an article by management guru Peter Drucker: “Thirty years from now the big university campuses will be relics…. Higher education is in a deep crisis. The college wont survive as a residential institution. Today’s buildings are hopelessly 4 unsuited and totally unneeded.”

The development of virtual institutions is still experimental, rather unfocused, and not necessarily matched to clientele learning needs. needs

There is a rapid p emergence g of new forms of subsidiary educational organisations. The rapid growth of private sector providers is another dimension of the emerging model scene.
