The role of lifelong learning is to enable each individual to learn and develop through the provision of educational services, experiences and environments. Education must be holistic in its interpretation and focus on the individuals’ social, emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual development. Education should respect a person’s personal privacy, promoting individuals’ rights and dignity and enhance the individuals’ sense of self-worth and identity. Continuing education should broaden the person’s opportunities and options for a personally satisfying and valued life-style. The development of basic living skills for personal independence and participation in the community should be a core focus of all educational plans. Each person requires an individual assessment and the development of an individualised plan which has clear objectives.
