The UN SDG 4 mission statement declares the importance of promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world around us, provide us with more and better opportunities, and improve our quality of life.
Delve into our ‘lifelong learning’ mission to learn how, in partnership with some of our authors and experts from around the world, we have been exploring this subject, addressing issues such as: what forms lifelong learning can take, how we can encourage lifelong learning, and why it is so important.
We’re inviting authors to publish with us in the field of education, so if you are working on an article or would like to contribute a blog or commentary then we’d love to hear from you.
This mission is aligned with our Quality education for all goal
