Lifelong Learning Bachelor Programs

Education is a lifelong process. System must be designed in such a way that an individual can start learning from the cradle to the grave, bearing in mind that the learning at different stages and settings requires different approaches of teaching and learning environment and support. Education is no longer defined to the just classroom settings. Lifelong Learning discussion started in the 1950s. However, attention to and progress on it has been remarkably slow due to poor recognition in and misunderstanding of its values in each context. The needs for introducing lifelong learning as a major of study at undergraduate and graduate level are no longer an issue. Developed and developing countries have increasingly paid attention to lifelong learning and integrated it into degree study. The Lifelong Learning Department aims to institutionalize this major of study in order to serve the diversified needs of education and training in a broader aspect of workplace and community in order to maximize the human capital in all corners of the society for economic growth.
