Learning for the Twenty-first century
First report of the National Advisory Group for
Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning
November 1997
Chair: Professor R.H. Fryer
There is a need to rethink and broaden the notion of lifelong
education. Not only must it adapt to changes in the nature of work, but it must also
constitute a continuous process of forming whole human beings - their knowledge and
aptitudes, as well as the critical faculty and ability to act. It should enable people to
develop awareness of themselves and their environment and encourage them to play their
social role at work and in the community.
Jacques Delors (1996),
Learning: The Treasure Within
