“The greatest public service higher education can perform is to develop people prepared to help solve society's emerging problems — who can articulate their own needs, who can understand the needs of others, and who can thus go on to create new goals and develop new forms of learning and doing. Only people so trained will be able to assume new roles as old ones become obsolete. Only those who have gained confidence in their own identity and direction can create healthy future goals for society. The challenge is to develop future‐oriented self‐directed learners.”—Werdell, 1972.
