Lifelong Learning

Lifelong Learning offers the best hope for all individuals taking part in Education in the 21st Century. It offers the best possible way to encourage creativity and innovation, which will lead to new solutions to solve existing problems. Lifelong learning also encourages individuals to adapt to their constantly changing environment by striving to obtain new skills on a continual basis.This type of learning also offers the best chance of solving global inequality as individuals search for new ways of solving local, national and international issues.

Lifelong Learning

Here are some of the words from UNESCO:

“In the 21st century, the need to embed the principles of lifelong learning in education and broader development policies takes on a more urgent tone than ever before. These principles, if systematically implemented, will be able to contribute to more just and equitable societies.

Lifelong learning encompasses learning at all ages and subsumes formal, non-formal and informal learning. Two groundbreaking reports on lifelong learning by UNESCO (Faure Report, 1972; Delors Report, 1996) articulated fundamental principles of lifelong learning. The UNESCO Medium-Term Strategy 2008-2013 has, as one of its overarching objectives for the Education Sector, “attaining quality education for all”.

The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, which UNESCO coordinates, has similarly stressed the importance of this style of learning as a key to the 21st century. The Belém Framework for Action now also affirms the role of lifelong learning in addressing global educational issues and development challenges.

In recent decades the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UNESCO Institute for Education, UIE, until 2006) has organised a wide range of activities along strategic areas of action on advocacy, research, capacity-building and partnership.” (UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning)
