Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 34
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur commends the report of the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century entitled Learning: The Treasure Within ("Delors report"), which brought to the fore the need to rethink and broaden the notion of lifelong education as a continuous process and its importance in providing everyone the opportunity as "an ongoing process of improving knowledge and skills". Learning throughout life was perceived as "the heartbeat of society" and was underpinned by a conception of education in which the formal system was linked to the informal system, in which age was not a barrier to the pursuit of education, and which was centred on four key pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learning to be.
