Per una curvatura educativa del lifelong learning

Abstract

This paper presents remarks on lifelong learning at the crossroads of two instances simultaneously present in our historical climate: on the one hand, there are certain guidelines exclusively relating economistic aspects, aiming to productivity and competitiveness increase, and basically aimed to satisfy arbitrary interests; on the other hand, there is a genuine education aiming to ensure at all people a lifelong access to knowledge as a needful factor of human development and improvement. Both instances are pinning their achievement expectations in lifelong learning; therefore, it needs to be examined in its identity and function, in individual and social perspective.
The positions herein advanced and corroborated pay attention at harmonious interactions between lifelong learning and lifelong education guiding purposes.
