In the March 1994 issue of Industry and Higher Education, William A. Weimer reviewed and analysed the lessons learned from the experience of the European Programme of Advanced Continuing Education (EuroPACE), which ceased to broadcast in January 1993. On 8 December 1993, EuroPACE 2000 arose from its ashes. In this article, the authors outline the aims and objectives of the new EuroPACE 2000 programme in the context of the education and training needs of the future workforce of Europe. A university-centred network, EuroPACE 2000 focuses on telematics as the key additional ingredient in the effective and widespread delivery of lifelong learning in Europe.

One of the most significant cooperative industry–higher education projects in Europe during the past decade has been EuroPACE, the European Programme of Advanced Continuing Education. In January 1993, EuroPACE ceased its broadcasts and re-entered the planning process. By the time this article has been published, EuroPACE should again be broadcasting, but with a somewhat different format and content. In this article, Bill Weimer presents a brief history of the first five years of EuroPACE and analyses the project. He examines key assumptions and decisions made, points out those which now appear to have been in error, and lists the lessons learned. Many of the assumptions and decisions made were correct; some of these are also discussed. This article will contribute the experience and lessons learned by EuroPACE to other joint industry–higher education projects. It may help them to avoid making some of the same mistakes.

Message of Support from Mrs GNM Pandor,Minister of Higher Education and Training Internationally there is a scarcity of peer-reviewed academic publications that are specifically intended to promote and disseminate scholarly research into post-school TVET and Adult and Continuing Education and Training. The first edition of the Journal of Vocational, Adult and Continuing Education and Training and its focus on the African continent and the global South is thus timely and most welcome. The enormous importance of the TVET, Adult and Continuing Education sector to the social and economic wellbeing of our people is not disputed. However, there has been an absence of a credible and quality publication to promote scholarly debate in the field. I am hopeful that this Journal of Vocational, Adult and Continuing Education and Training will provide such a platform for the theoretical and conceptual understanding of this sector. I hope also that the Journal will provide a platform for a rigorous and sound analysis of the implementation of the analyses of the scholars that will be published in the Journal. I welcome the first edition of the Journal of Vocational, Adult and Continuing Education and Training and look forward to the interdisciplinary and globally comparative publications that will assist policymakers, practitioners, researchers and scholars to contribute to and enhance the understanding of this important sector. Congratulations to the Institute for Post-School Studies at the University of the Western Cape and your partners on this milestone. I wish you, your contributors and your readers every success in this first edition and continued strength in the years ahead. Mrs GNM Pandor MPMinister of Higher Education and Training

ABSTRACT Lifelong learning became the most important issue in new strategies of education in global world. In health services education is focused on bringing fast new technological development into clinical practice assuring patient's safety. To make lifelong learning in health care professions a reality, education and training systems should make a stronger effort toward really open, flexible and transparent education. This requires co-operation between European, national and regional/ local levels, but it also calls for quality assurance systems to strengthen their co-operation on these objectives. The multidisciplinary approach in lifelong learning is particularly important in health system where patient's problems are in the center of their activities. Interdisciplinarity in practice, collaboration, co-ordination of continuity of care are as important for health system as for individual patient. Therefore, lifelong learning is ultimate goal for everyone working in health sector. Higher education quality assurance mechanisms should support lifelong learning by a broader international dimension, providing transparency and recognition, better adapting to nontraditional education and learners, and encouraging bridges with other education levels and sectors (in particular with vocational education and training). This should be complemented with incentives for higher education institutions to become more active in lifelong learning, and to a broad range of stakeholders in that process.
