Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Lifelong learning has developed not only from a right to education perspective; its development manifests a broader human rights-based approach, linking lifelong learning to other human rights. UNESCO recognizes that "in the framework of lifelong learning, … literacy and adult learning and education contribute to the realization of the right to education that enables adults to exercise other economic, political, social and cultural rights". The aim of adult learning and education is to empower people in that perspective.
