Knowledge has replaced industrial organisation and
production as the major source of productivity . Knowledge society where knowledge is the
primary production resource instead of capital and labour. Globalisation and the changing world economy
are driving a transition to knowledge based economic growths.
Education is very
important in the knowledge society. It
is seen as
(i) a source of basic skills,
(ii) foundation for development of new
knowledge and innovation,and
(iii) A
mechanism for socio-economic development.
ICT is the
enabler for both innovation and education-with our which a knowledge society
cannot be realised, supported or further developed.
