the roles of students and teachers, and producing a shift in society from industrialisation towards an

information-based society. It reflects the effect on culture and brings about a new form of cultural

imperialism. It brings rapid developments in technology and communications are foreseeing changes

the world into ‘global citizens’, intelligent people with a broad range of skills and knowledge to apply

to a competitive, information based society. The future of countries often lies within their ability to

training process, developing transferable skills and knowledge that can be applied to competitive

markets where knowledge and information is being traded as a commodity.
