\"\"A special lifelong learning paper was commissioned by ALA to mark the Year of Lifelong Learning (YOLL). Tony Brown provides a brief history of the idea of lifelong learning, and an overview of international and Australian writing on lifelong learning policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The paper entitled, Lifelong Learning: An organising principle <\/a>, examines why this is important and sets out to clarify the key elements of a policy strategy to implement a more comprehensive and effective lifelong learning policy.<\/p>\n

He concludes that while voluntary efforts will remain important, government action and public investment are more important than ever, not least to support participation by under-represented groups.\u00a0 This must support a broader concept of learning, albeit one that includes a skills strategy.<\/p>\n
