ABOUT THE TOPIC OF LIFELONG LEARNING AND EDUCATION
Lifelong learning is an approach to education that encourages continuous learning and an attitude of openness to acquiring knowledge and new ideas and skills. Lifelong education is defined as ?? all educational or training processes undertaken by adults, whether general or vocational, whether located in the workplace, in an educational institution, by distance education or in a community setting, and whether formal or informal. This term also implies that education is not completed at any stage of the life span and can be part or
full time in presentation. Lifelong education is education for life.” See, The Adult Learner at Work: The Challenges of Lifelong Education in the New Millennium. Book by Robert Burns; Allen & Unwin, 2002.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
