Lifelong Learning in the Community.
Brown, Tony
Australian Journal of Adult Learning, v40 n1 p10-26 Apr 2000
Lifelong learning has evolved from the UNESCO concept in the 1960s-70s of democratization through education to the 1990s' economic competitiveness arguments. Current economic and social conditions demand a broader conception that encompasses changes in work, technology, and demography and environmental sustainability. Focus should shift to building inclusive learning communities. (SK)
