"A permanent vocational training has to keep renewing the abilities of its EU citizens in order to equip them with the necessary experience to face present challenges and the quickly evolving technologies."
From the leaflet: “life-long learning” by the European Commission
The fast paced innovations in science and technology require people to learn to adapt quickly to novelties. This implies a lifelong learning process. The time that one left school with the right knowledge and skill set for a long and prosperous career is long gone. Now, school is more about graduating and immediately starting to go on further training. |

Platforms for lifelong learning will continue to become more important. This can take place in a school building, but also online through a specially constructed learning environment. When lifelong learning is integrated into an existing school, the latter must adapt to an different audience. Adults, for instance, have different expectations than children or young people.
