Our vision is a society where everyone has access to high quality learning opportunities, where everyone values learning and where people are inspired and supported to take up learning, so they become successful lifelong learners.
The case for lifelong learning is well established. We are likely to be happier, healthier, longer living and wealthier if we are active learners. We benefit as individuals, families, employers and communities when learning helps us to adapt, build resilience and solve the challenges we face.
''Learning is a process of active engagement with experience. It is what we do when we want to make sense of the world. It may involve the development or deepening of skills, knowledge, understanding, awareness, values, ideas and feelings, or an increase in the capacity to reflect. Effective learning leads to change, development and the desire to learn more."
