Lifelong Learning
Reading time < 1 minute

It is increasingly evident that education is not just a phase in our lives, something we do in our childhood and youth before progressing into the world of work. Learning begins the day we are born and continues until our last breath. Therefore, we must rethink education as a continuum and lifelong learning as a universal public good.

This Edu Trends Report is part of Tec de Monterrey’s efforts to contribute to the global knowledge base on the future of education. But to build the future of education, we need to change our assumptions about its purpose.

Join us on a journey through the history of lifelong learning: its origins, revisions, and transformations over several decades. To know where we are going, we must understand where we come from. This report aims to demonstrate that lifelong learning is much more than a trend.
