well both . . . .you learn something but you forget something else . . . . for example there are a lot of equations, theories, postulates, laws, that are used but do you remember any of them? once you learn a new one you forget another one because you don't use it anymore

Rate of Learning is much faster than the rate of forgetting.

I agree with Arkangyle, since we all started out as a blank slate but when we die, we still have memories of things we learnt. Hence, the overall rate of learning is faster/higher than the overall rate of forgetting but bear in mind that the rates will differ at different point in time, the rate of forgetting might be faster when u r old but slower when u r young

Well ... you can't forget what you haven't learned. And if you forgot as much as you learned, you wouldn't know anything. So I'll bet on the rate of learning being faster ... though as it was pointed out already, the rate is not uniform throughout the life cycle.

It depends on age.Notice how a child learns in large strides but a elderly person forgets things at that same rate.
