Abstract

In labelling his massive report, A Choice of Futures, Dr. Worth expresses his faith that education can be the decisive instrument of social policy. He believes that by instituting the appropriate educational programs Alberta can move towards one kind of future rather than another. This faith in education leads Dr. Worth to attempt to establish the right basis for educational planning, and the first portion of his report is an exercise in social analysis and moral philosophy in which he sets out the goals to be achieved through appropriate education. He then undertakes to explain the educational provisions necessary to achieve the goals.
