The term “ lifelong learning” is often used to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode. It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure, importance, value and support in India.
Many developed countries, for example Canada, have government programmes based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs).In the Indian context, learning is often done to earn a degree. We are a degree-oriented country. A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper, which do not establish any fact of real learning happening, or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times, is still not an accepted reality. The concept of voluntary and continuous learning, whether to enhance professional or personal skills, is still a long shot in India.
The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal, or restricted to student life until the age of 28.It can be a process that is continuous throughout life, based on situations and varied needs. Take the case of a retired professional. She may be interested in fine arts, but wasn’t able to do so in her career. Can’t she then enroll in (登记) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement? Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning, for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45.
Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”.It is another word for value education or value-based teaching. In earlier times, there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.
Further,“ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to lateral(横向的)learning—from experiences and situations different from formal, structured education.
These three concepts—lifelong learning, life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.
