Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 49
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In this respect, communities can play a role in promoting lifelong learning, including in the creation or strengthening of appropriate institutional structures, such as community learning centres, for delivering adult learning and education, and in encouraging adults to use them as hubs for individual learning as well as community development. Available experience on communities building infrastructure for basic education can be scaled up to lifelong learning processes at the local and regional levels. So-called "learning cities" can improve the lifelong education system so as to encourage vocational colleges, community colleges and open universities to play a greater role in development by providing lifelong learning opportunities. Wider dimension can be given to this by developing "learning cities, towns and villages".
