LIFELONG LEARNING - BEWARE OF THE LOOPHOLES

Summary/Abstract: It is accepted that three controversial issues have been the dominating concern over the last decades, globalization, technological development and communicative approaches. Their impact on our everyday lives has been decisive. The emerging demands resulting hereafter have necessitated the re-skilling and re-training of workforce to keep in pace with these developments. The inevitable conclusion is that the traditional education/training principles should shift to give particular importance to after-school-learning programmes. Evidently, it is the realm of lifelong learning (LLL) which will cover the whole range of learning needs by redefining its objectives to cope with the continual process of technologies and contemporary requirements. Yet, the implementation of LLL is barred by numerous loopholes, like drop-out-rates ,misuse of this strategy, inappropriate learning packages, limited resources available, inadequate accessibility and others. This study will explore the reasons of these loopholes and recommend measures of effective LLL implementation.
