The author analyzes the basic nature of changes in the traditional career of seamen in Norway, from a mono-role to a multi-role system, from a life long career to a multi-phase career system. The transition which has begun among sailors depends on a corresponding change in the school system. A model is outlined to explain how a closed uniform school system is about to change by increasing the autonomy and participation in a learning and development process inside schools, and between schools and other institutions. Some early signs of change in the family pattern of seamen indicate the interdependence between work, school andfamily.
