Being directly involved in the daily struggle to improve the quality of life for all, we recognize that our problems will continue to be economic, social, political, relational, and philosophical among others. The solutions required though are related not only to the people skills of collaboration and cooperation, but the coming together of the disciplines of education, which underpin how we create and apply knowledge to solve practical problems.

It is within this context of globalization, collaboration, cooperation and integration, that the Schools of Education are convinced that a cross-disciplinary strategy, which embraces a synergistic approach, will guarantee our education for the future. Similarly, the underlying principle of ensuring that education will benefit all persons, regardless of race, class, gender or nationality, is one of the imperatives that will engender the future direction of education. And while we acknowledge that the best solution must be applied to the challenges of the education process, we embrace the notion that it is only with contending perspectives that the most effective solutions will unfold and emerge.
