LIFELONG

33. The paper concludes that the
globally converging discourse
of LLL tends to serve the
interests of the market ahead
of those of the community,
and argues that an alternative
characterization of LLL,
anchored in social justice, is
necessary in the light of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, and especially
Sustainable Development Goal
4, which aims to ensure
inclusive and equitable quality
education and to promote
lifelong learning opportunities
for all.

38. • On 25 September 2015, the United Nations
General Assembly formally adopted the
universal, integrated and transformative 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development, along
with a set of 17 Sustainable Development
Goals and 169 associated targets.

41. Main principles
• Education is a fundamental human right and
an enabling right.
• Education is a public good, of which the state
is the duty bearer.
• Gender equality is inextricably linked to the
right to education for all.

43. Target 3, point 43.:
A well-established, properly-
regulated tertiary education system
supported by technology, Open
Educational Resources (OERs) and
distance education modalities can
increase access, equity, quality and
relevance, and narrow the gap
between what is taught at tertiary
education institutions and what
economies and societies demand.
The provision of tertiary education
should be progressively free, in line
with existing international
agreements.
