Lifelong Learning
- Commitment to Lifelong
Education -
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
behaviors. 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 Schools and Traditional
learning institutes .
Lifelong education is a form of pedagogy often
accomplished through non-traditional routes of education
like distance learning and virtual education. It also
includes postgraduate level programmes for those who
want to improve their qualification, 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, better able to react in an
agile manner to a rapidly changing climate. In later
life, especially in retirement, continued learning takes
diverse forms, crossing traditional academic bounds and
including recreational activities.
One
of the reasons why lifelong education has become so
important is the acceleration of scientific and
technological progress. Despite the increased duration
of primary, secondary and traditional university
education , the knowledge and skills acquired there are
usually not sufficient for a professional career
spanning three or four decades. For these we are
committed to Lifelong Education !
