The Changing Context for Cultural Management Education in Canada
"The results of the research and discussions of the Advisory Group together, indicate that the field is moving into substantially different times in which the rate of change, along with its fundamental and pervasive character, will spin off vastly new conditions and educational needs, with new complexities and paradoxes to be carefully managed."

"The challenge is to come to understand the inherently complext educational issues of the day affecting professional preparation and renewal - issues with many elaborately interrelated and interconnected parts. The challenge too is to define these issues in increasingly more thoughtful and more powerful ways, making use of the substantial knowledge of our times to resolve its many complicated problems.
For example, the traditional approach to occupational and professional training, with its primary focus on the means to job competency, no longer, by itself, seems to deal with the many learner and public need which vie for attention. While learner and public needs include those of professional competence, they are by no means satisfied by this criterion alone. Some of the additional needs have been described by the Advisory Group and will be elaborated in the sections to follow. A major theme playing out through the analysis is that of paradox - a characteristic of much of contemporary social and cultural reality2. The paradoxes, to be carefully managed, are those between the apparent truths of the times and the absurd contradictions that also seem to co-exist in time with equal validity. The challenge is to understand and insightfully manage both states, without denying the possibility of either. The goal throughout the present analysis is to identify the fundamental areas of concern to be dealt with in the subsequent phases of this project, if the many complexities and paradoxes of the field are to be effectively dealt with, and any real long term improvements, consummate with the times, are to be made in education for the profession."
