Preferred term

lifelong learning  

Definition

  • Lifelong learning is the facilitation of learning, growth, and development across the life span. It has also been referred to as lifelong education, and it is typically seen as reflective of a “learning society” or a “knowledge society.” Examples of lifelong learning include retraining adults for new jobs and new industries, informal and nonformal learning, leisure learning, activism, and continuing education.
