Abstract	The Commission was commended to investigate social, economic, and technological trends in Alberta for the next 20 years; to examine the needs of all individuals in the Province; to analyze total educational requirements; and to recommend future changes, structures, and priorities necessary for a comprehensive educational system. Between 1969 and 1972, with the help of expert consultants, the Commission sponsored or co-sponsored research studies, held public hearings involving people across the Province, received briefs, convened large conferences, and launched major task force investigations which were made public in 1971. From these resources, the Commission analyzed what people wanted. This analysis resulted in a number of educational ideals, principles, and goals shared by the great majority of citizens, which are presented here. The report also suggests structures, processes, plans, resource management, and priorities designed to help make the good forecasts be true, the bad forecasts be untrue, and the unchangeable forecasts at least tolerable.
