Lifelong learning is designed to promote inclusion whilst raising the standards of adult education after the school-leaving age of 16 (now 18). Lifelong learning refers to learners in sixth form education right through to adults learning at any age. The variety of learners and the skills and abilities of those learners presents a range of challenges for a teacher entering into the profession, so it is important to understand what these are.
