The UNESCO Institute for Lilelong Learning (UIL) & IAU joint Global Survey is open until 15 November 2020
Lifelong Learning (or continuing education) plays a key role in advancing society by providing opportunities for personal growth all life long, and thus contributing to reaching SDG 4 - Quality Education. The HE sector has the unique potential to foster the development of Lifelong Learning (LLL); its contribution calls for better understanding.
UIL and IAU launch a global survey to collect qualitative data to inform how and to what extent HEIs worldwide are involved in the development of LLL.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
The survey is open to all heads of HEIs globally until 15 November and is available in five languages.
