Lifelong learning in the European Union

Learning is not limited to a single, specific phase in life, that of the years at school, but also happens in different contexts, over the course of a lifetime. With its strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training, ET 2020, the European Union supports the concept of lifelong learning by coordinating cooperation between Member States on training and formal, non-formal and informal education. 

This infographic presents a sample of the data to draw attention to some of the recurrent issues in lifelong learning. You can navigate to one of the four sections, each dedicated to a stage in lifelong learning. The sections discuss types of education and training and their objectives, staffing issues, financing, accessibility, participation rates, and impact. The final section looks at EU measures and specifically at the European Parliament's contribution. Go to the site through this link.
