Abstract:

The first section of the paper looks at the way that the education and training sector has responded to imperatives generated by changes in the global economy. The second section examines policy changes associated with residential aged care and the changing literacy tasks required as a result of these changes. Finally the paper identifies issues that have arisen as a result of these key policy imperatives indicating possible areas requiring further work.
