 Lifelong
learning is the concept that It's never too soon or too
late for learning, a philosophy that has taken root in a
whole host of different organisations. Lifelong learning
is attitudinal; that one can and should be open to new
ideas, decisions, skills or behaviours. Lifelong
learning throws the axiom You can't teach an old dog new
tricks out the door. Lifelong learning sees citizens
provided with learning opportunities at all ages and in
numerous contexts: at work, at home and through leisure
activities, not just through formal channels such as
school and higher education.
Lifelong
education is a form of pedagogy often accomplished
through distance learning or e-learning, continuing
education, homeschooling or correspondence courses. It
also includes postgraduate programmes for those who want
to improve their qualifications, bring their skills up
to date or retrain for a new line of work. Internal
corporate training has similar goals, with the concept
of lifelong learning used by organisations to promote a
more dynamic employee base. |
