Lifelong learning
Lifelong learning in the Philippines
Lifelong learning is defined by the ILO as "all learning activities undertaken throughout life for the development of competencies and qualifications" where "competencies" cover the knowledge, skills, and know-how applied and mastered in a specific context, and "qualifications" mean a formal expression of the vocational or professional abilities of a worker which is recognized at international, national or sectoral levels.
This study starts with a section on the current policy framework for lifelong learning in the Philippines (LLLP): its Constitutional foundations, its weak recognition in the 2005-2010 medium term Philippine development plan.
The author examines the expounded views and analyses reasons for this state. The study also discusses areas of concern that require attention for concretization of Recommendation 195 in the Philippine setting. These include need for appreciation for the requirement of a policy framework for lifelong learning, legal and institutional foundations, the role of stakeholders and foremost, a mindset change for the recognition of different forms of learning.
