The speed of change in the knowledge-based economy means that skills depreciate much more rapidly than they once did. To compete effectively in this constantly changing environment, workers need to be able to upgrade their skills on a continuing basis. Preparing workers to compete in the knowledge-based economy requires a new model of education and training, a model of lifelong learning. A lifelong learning framework encompasses learning throughout the life cycle, from early childhood to retirement. It includes formal and informal education and training. Meanwhile, educational systems can no longer emphasize task-specific skills but must focus instead on developing learners’ decision-making and problem-solving skills and teaching them how to learn on their own and with others.
