Lifelong learning is the concept that "It's never too soon or too late for learning", a philosophy that has taken root in a whole host of different organizations. Lifelong learning is attitudinal; that one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors. Lifelong learning throws the axiom "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" out the door. Lifelong learning sees citizens provided with learning opportunities at all ages and in numerous contexts: at work, at home and through leisure activities, not just through formal channels such as school and higher education.
Lifelong education is a form of pedagogy often accomplished through distance learning or e-learning, continuing education, homeschooling or correspondence courses. It also includes postgraduate programs for those who want to improve their qualification, bring their skills up to date or retrain for a new line of work. Internal corporate training has similar goals. In later life, especially in retirement, continued learning takes diverse forms, crossing traditional academic bounds and including recreational activities.

It is a concept valued by the Disabled People's Movement as it asserts there is a right to take part in society as an equal with equal access to learning at all stages of your life.
Given many disabled people need reasonable adjustments to be made in order to access LLL (much adult education takes place in former Victorian primary schools, which are inaccessible above the ground floor, a commitment by an educational institution to provide LLL provides a basis for disabled people to argue that the learning must be provided in such a way (held at a community centre, perhaps) as they can take part in it.

I'm a primary teacher. I and the later stages of teaching only serve to teach our pupils how to learn. It is when they leave us that the real learning takes place.
Some may achieve great things - not measured by wealth or qualifications necessarily. Others will close their minds and drift through life like tumbleweed.
