Type: Assignment – Written Assignment on ‘The Purposes of Lifelong Learning’
The concept of lifelong learning has always been central to adult and vocational education. Technical and Further Education (TAFE) was developed in the 1970′s as a provision of education not only for the initial preparation of skills for the Australian workforce, but for learning
throughout life. Similarly, lifelong learning has long been associated with individuals’ personal development or continuing education to advance or change careers. That is, it had a strong focus on personal and personally-directed development. However, in recent years, the concept of lifelong learning has come to be viewed as a form of education to maintain individuals’ currency of their vocational practice throughout their work lives, in order to achieve important economic goals of sustaining national competitiveness and standards of living. For some commentators
this view represents a narrowing of the purposes and valuing of lifelong learning. For others, this represents a focus on individuals’ vocation and its ongoing development throughout their working life.
