Abstract
The new millennium heralds great challenges to all societies and economies,
particularly in terms of the impact of globalisation, the rapid pace of technological
development and the inevitable changes that will occur. Good educators have always been
highly regarded as opinion leaders and thus instruments or agents of change. This role will be
even more critical in the 21st century.
