GENERAL EDUCATION IN THE FUNCTION OF LABOUR MARKET NEEDS AND/OR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE NOTION OF LITERACY

Janko Muršak ; Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

Sažetak

The notion of literacy has broadened in the last decades
and now incorporates a whole range of different and new key competencies. The consequence is a change in the goals and subject matter of literacy programmes, language and literature teaching, and general education as a whole. This article presents the dilemma about the role of general education in modern society, or, more precisely, asks whether we are facing a situation where
learning and education as a basic human right have given way to learning and education as a means of economic and social development. Some international documents are discussed from this point of view. The paper concludes that the dilemma can be resolved, but only provided that we read international documents
interactively and take into account the social heterogeneity of groups and the autonomy of the individuals in them
