Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- At the turn of the millennium, the UNESCO World Education Report 2000 was devoted to the topic "The right to education: towards education for all throughout life". It argued that "education" could not be taken to mean only "schooling" and that "the time to learn is now the whole lifetime", thus expanding the concept of lifelong learning. Education is a "continuum, coextensive with life", and in today's globalizing world, it can no longer be defined by a reference to a particular period of life. "Lifelong education" and "lifelong learning" have come to represent in different ways the expectations that societies currently have of education and of the scope that should be provided for every individual to develop his or her potential.
