Summary
In the last few years lifelong learning has become a major trend in all developed countries. Oriented adult learning can in some ways be an impulse for certain changes in economy as well as in the society (Mužík, 2000). Lifelong learning is a significant part of adult learning and it presents a principal change in the notion of the whole education system. It is being perceived as a necessity to achieve higher effectiveness and competitiveness at the labour market. Sometime the two notions of lifelong education and lifelong learning are confused. This is caused by the same translation of the English “Lifelong learning”.
