An Executive Council Statement to the 1999 Annual Delegate Meeting. This statement looks at what Lifelong Learning is all about, what it means and how it's about more than just the nuts and bolts of conventional education and training
A lot of people would say they left learning behind the day they left school. A lot of people wanted to. A lot felt they had no choice.
At work, many of our members still receive little or no vocational education or training. Around home or in the wider community most of us are only vaguely aware of night classes at the local college, for example, or educational programmes on the TV in the early hours.
Even when we do learn things like driving a car or surfing the Net we often don't stop to think of it as learning a skill or picking up valuable knowledge.
Lifelong learning challenges that view of learning as just a once in a lifetime experience at school, something for other people or something you have to work hard to find out about let alone tackle successfully.
Lifelong Learning was correct at date of publication April 1999.
