Lifelong education, which began in the 1920s, became popular in the international educational trend of thought in the 1960s. Some people think that education should run through one's life, not just childhood and adolescence.

The term lifelong education first appeared in Britain in 19 19. After World War II, it appeared in a large number of educational documents. In 1960s, lengrand, director of the Adult Education Bureau of UNESCO, strongly advocated it.

He believes that there is no scientific basis for dividing life into two halves for hundreds of years. The first half is used for education and the second half for work. Education should be a never-ending thing for a person from birth to death. Education should provide necessary knowledge and skills in the best way when everyone needs it.

Development history

From 65438 to 0965, lengrand's proposal was discussed by the UNESCO International Committee for the Promotion of Adult Education, which was recognized by many member countries and widely circulated. However, people have different views on the concept of lifelong education. The general explanation is that lifelong education is "the sum of all kinds of training people have received in their lives".

It includes all kinds of education of all ages, both formal education and informal education; There are both school education and social education.

This trend of thought is produced and formed under the situation that the progress and development of modern science and technology make the production technology, production organization and production technology constantly change, resulting in changes in labor and occupation. This requires not only the development of informal adult education, but also the integration of preschool education and higher education into the lifelong education system.
