Abstract

The author examines the status of education culture and liberal peoples’ education in a unified Europe. The author is of the opinion that ethnic cultures will retain their status in the future as well. The author deals especially with the prospects of workers’ education in this new stage of development. He is also of the opinion that there should be open discussion concerning the effects of the unification process on the Nordic societies. The teaching of foreign languages and the development of the skills needed in international cooperation are felt to be of particular significance.
