To promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, talents are the support and education is the key. On the one hand, building an education system that serves lifelong learning for the whole people can provide a steady stream of talent support for the modernization of national governance. In the final analysis, the modernization of state governance depends on the modernization of people. Constructing an education system that serves the lifelong learning of the whole people is helpful to improve the scientific and humanistic quality of the whole nation and cultivate useful talents with high comprehensive quality, adapting to the needs of career development and innovative consciousness.

On the other hand, it can satisfy people's yearning for a better life. Education is both the national economy and the people's livelihood. People's yearning for a better life inevitably contains expectations for higher quality education. Lifelong learning for all gives everyone an equal right to education, and is committed to the equal allocation of educational resources, so that the fruits of educational development can benefit all people more fairly.

Lifelong learning for all has become the mainstream educational thought in the world, which has a far-reaching impact on world education and the development of human society. "China Education Modernization 2035" is the main development goal in 2035, among which "building a modern education system serving the lifelong learning of the whole people" ranks first.

Lifelong learning for all, from a vertical perspective, includes all kinds of education received by everyone at different stages of development from infancy to old age. From a horizontal perspective, it includes the education of everyone in different fields of school, family and society, and realizes the organic combination of school education, family education and social education.
