'Lifelong learning' is not a modern form of discourse. Its origins comes from classical Greece. However, today more than ever, it has become an urgent need, as a result of the rapid development of the social and professional circumstances. In these new conditions of high education and knowledge, every citizen must strengthen and improve himself, in order to satisfy his needs, his personal desires and increase his career prospects.
The kinds and types of education, that 'lifelong learning' includes, cover all human life and thus becomes one of the contributors to social integration. It contributes to the development of knowledge and skills that citizens need throughout their lives, so that they can respond smoothly on the changing social and labor demands. However, a question which arises is whether 'lifelong learning' is a political decision of improving human throughput or making a substantial contribution to fulfill the essential role of Education.
