Where has the idea of lifelong learning come from, what does it signify and why has it become such an important aspect of international and national policy discourse? At the beginning of a new millennium, it is perhaps time to take stock and to look back at how the concept of lifelong learning developed towards the end of the 20th century and to assess its importance in current policy debates. This book suggests that despite its lengthy history, and the fickleness of policy makers, lifelong learning is a concept that does not yet appear to have run its course. Throughout the book, each of the various authors attempts to make sense of and to critique contemporary approaches to lifelong learning within Europe and, more specifically, the UK. © Individual contributors, 2000.
