520 _aIn a nation which already has the world's most elaborate and expensive system of formal education, suggestions for building new systems are likely to fall on deaf ears, especially if they call for greatly increased expenditures of public funds. But most people probably believe that the educational system we have can be improved. In Patterns for Lifelong Learning we advocate basic changes in attitudes toward education that can help build new learning systems in tune with the needs of contemporary society. More programs or expenditures may be necessary, but changes in attitudes are equally important.
