Education, as a result, is increasingly becoming a lifelong activity; businesses are now looking for employees who are prepared to continue learning, and workers and managers in many kinds of pursuits had better look forward to persistent hard work acquiring and maintaining the skills needed to cope with a dynamically evolving economy.
The recognition that more productive workers and learning go hand-in-hand is becoming ever more visible in both schools and in the workplace. Linkages between business and education should be encouraged at all levels of our education system.
