The Strategic Planning Task Group (SPTG) of Ontario was mandated to determine and recommend priorities that should be addressed within 5 to 20 years. Many aspects of the work of the SPTG for the past 4 years are consolidated in this report. The first two chapters of part 1 outline in broad terms some of the altered or altering circumstances that will affect Ontario's social and economic organization and education. Global conditions cited are: violence; disparity and inequality; geographic power shifts; increased need for learning, information and knowlege; and technology. Conditions and implications for education explored at the provincial level include demographic and cultural change, changing social institutions, and changing work roles. The third chapter describes those beliefs and attitudes that are currently affecting, and will continue to affect, Ontario education. Part II details the long-term implications springing from these conditions and beliefs that SPTG felt were significant in pointing towards new directions in education. These new directions are grouped under the following three headings: (1) learners and learning, (2) curriculum and teaching, and (3) service delivery and governance. A 62-item bibliography is appended. (MLF)
