A knowledge society generates, processes, shares and makes available to all members of the society knowledge that may be used to improve the human condition.
A knowledge society differs from an information society in that the former serves to transform information into resources that allow society to take effective action while the latter only creates and disseminates the raw data.

The development of the Knowledge Society is focused on the following objectives:
• To inspire and enable individuals to develop their capability to the highest potential level throughout life, so they can grow intellectually, be well equipped for work, can contribute effectively to society and enjoy active personal fulfilment.
• To increase knowledge and understanding for their application at local, regional, national level.
