Abstract	This document builds upon the work of the short-range planning committee of the Florida Educational Leaders Forum, "A Proposal to Enhance Educational Excellence in Florida Education Through the 1990s," by providing a blueprint to extend educational planning into the 21st century. The goals of Florida's educational system for the 21st century correspond to "The Sunshine Report," a product of the House Speaker's Advisory Committee on the Future. These goals include an education that trains every individual to live and work in and use the benefits of technology in an information society; teaches every individual to work and live in an ever-changing world society; emphasizes an appreciation of humanity's cultural and artistic accomplisments; prepares every individual for his/her role as a parent or child care provider; and encourages individual responsibility for the importance of health, fitness, and leisure in a well-rounded life. In addition, education should assure each individual: the opportunity to develop operative skills in computation, reading, speaking, writing, and listening; knowledge of basic information in natural, physical, and social sciences; positive attitudes toward participatory citizenship and social justice; and the ability to reason and solve problems. Finally, postsecondary education should develop closer ties to the K-12 public school system in any effort to restructure Florida's educational delivery systems. (JAM)
