‘Lifelong learning’ is the pursuit of knowledge throughout life. In other words, learning is not confined to the classroom environment and school subjects. Instead, people can learn throughout their adulthood, even in old age and in a variety of situations, particularly in their daily interactions with others and with the world around them. Lifelong learning must be voluntary and self-motivated. Therefore, lifelong learners should have a strong desire to learn and explore the world.

2.________

Lifelong learning is facilitated by e-learning platforms. Education is now no longer offered only by ‘bricks and mortar’ institutions. Online courses have instead enabled lifelong learning by providing learners, teachers, and course providers with much more flexibility in terms of learning time, place, pace, and style. Learners, for instance, can now have the course content taught to them by a school located miles away from where they live or work. In addition, young parents can select their group meeting time late in the evening when their children have gone to bed.

3.________

Most importantly, lifelong learning should be regarded as an attitude to learning for self-improvement rather than a pathway to qualifications. This means the ultimate aim * better yourself for personal and/or profe development rather than for some certificate decorate your CV.

Key

The bar chart shows the results of a survey of approximately 500 employees about barriers to lifelong learning. The survey found that there are five barriers that prevent people from participating in lifelong learning. However, these barriers are not equally important.

Lack of finances is rated by most of the survey participants as the most important factor. More than three quarters (77%) of those who responded to the survey reported that it was their main problem. The second important factor is the lack of time. This was identified as a barrier by 66% of the research participants (almost two-thirds).

Two more factors were picked by about one-fifth of the participants. These were the unawareness of the importance of lifelong learning (22%) and the irrelevance of the subjects available (20%). A small minority of participants reported a lack of interest in learning (10%).

In conclusion, the top two factors that prevent employees from participating in lifelong learning are lack of finances and lack of time. It is clear that priority must be given to them when encouraging employees to pursue further education.
