Lifelong Learning as a Right? European Perspectives

http://lline.fi//kuvat/r_33.jpgLLinE Journal is a trans-European organisation dedicated to the advancement of adult education, lifelong learning, intercultural collaboration and best practice research.
Vol. XIV Issue 2/2009 Lifelong Learning as a Right? European Perspectives. Editorial by Kristiina Kumpulainen: The right to learn.
Although the right to learn is pivotal in our present time, educational practices that are truly successful in educating everyone to high levels of intellectual, practical, and social competence continue to be, in every sense of the word, exceptional. Although many such educational efforts have been invented, they have lived at the edge of the system, rarely embraced or supported by the systems in which they struggle to exist. Moreover, they have never become sufficiently widespread for every learner to have access to them.
In addition to emphasizing the importance of the quality of education and expertise in educating diverse individuals, I would like to stress the importance of international and cross-disciplinary educational research to advance the right to learn for everyone. In particular, the research community should focus on:
• encouraging the development of a new research culture and new research partnerships and the creation of interdisciplinary and international research projects around the problems of learning;
• finding a way of managing the challenges of lifelong and life-wide learning in order to avoid a new kind of exclusion:
• creating a solid quality interdisciplinary research base for developing teaching and learning in different educational and working-life contexts; and
• anticipating future learning needs from the point of view of society, culture and the individual.
These are important areas for research which should guide educational policy and practice for lifelong learning, promoting the right to learn.
