We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn. / Peter Drucker/On last seminar We learnt about Organizations and resources of Adult education. There are so many organizations that organize activities, events, conferences, consultations and implement so many projects and programs in the world. I want to write more about UNESCO. I think Everyone know about that organization.
From the late 1960s, UNESCO played an important role in laying the foundations for lifelong education as organizing principle of education. UNESCO made so many good decisions for lifelong learning. Also It has an Institude for Lifelong learning is one of the six educational institutes of UNESCO. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning is the only unit in the United Nations family that holds a global mandate for lifelong learning with a focus on adult and continuing education, literacy and non formal basic education. The international community has a strong focus on adult and vocational education. Besides implementing lifelong learning activities, literacy is an essential issue in many countries.
The universal right to education for everychild, youth and adult is the fundamental principle that underpins all our decisions. Learning empowers adults by giving them the knowledge and skills to better lives. It also benefits their families, communities and societies. So We have to improve our knowledge and attendance day by day.
Currently, In Mongolia there are 6 Government organizations, 2 Non-Government organizations and 4 International organizations are conducting activities, programs and implementing projects for lifelong learning. In my opinion it is not so bad index in my country. Also I want to do more things about Adult education in Mongolia after I will graduate my university.
