Lifelong Learning

Courses

Lifelong learning is rooted in the integration of
learning and living, covering lifelong (cradle to
grave) and life-wide learning for people of all
ages, delivered and undertaken through a variety
of modalities and meeting a wide range of
learning needs and demands (UNESCO Institute
for Lifelong Learning Technical Note on Lifelong
Learning,

The Delors Report of 1996, entitled Learning: The
treasure within (Delors et al. 1996) saw learning
throughout life as the ‘heartbeat’ of a society. It
also saw lifelong learning as a principle which
rests on four pillars – learning to be, learning to
know, learning to do and learning to live together
– and envisaged a learning society in which
everyone can learn according to her or his
individual needs and interests, anywhere and
anytime in an unrestricted, flexible and
constructive way.

Lifelong learning can also be described as the
concept of pursuing additional education and
the development of further skills beyond an
individual's formal or compulsory education.
Lifelong learning is generally voluntary and
self-motivated based on a pursuit to learn more,
gain new skills or support professional
development.

PutraMOOC offers various courses for the
purpose of life-long learning such as provided in
this section..
