A Study on the Lifelong education at universities for the Future of Education from a Synchronic and Diachronic Perspective

As a university-centered lifelong education vitalization policy, the 2nd cycle basic plan for the representative LiFE project was announced, and the government recently announced the areas to participate in the RISE pilot project. The LiFE project is evaluated as a project to build a future social power through the convergence of higher education and lifelong education by restructuring the higher education system centered on school-aged students into a higher lifelong education system that is 'adult learner-friendly'. After the pilot project, the basic framework of 「RIS + LINC3.0 + LiFE + HiVE + Regional Area Revitalization」is being planned. This change is because it can be said that it is the time to seek practical strategies to settle government financial support projects of universities from the so-called top-down system led by the government to an endogenous, bottom-up system centered on the local community. Therefore, it was reviewed in connection with RISE along with historical consideration of the LiFE project as a single project. In detail, first, the legal and institutional aspect of lifelong education policy and the progress of the LiFE project through changes in university-centered lifelong education vitalization policy were reviewed. And LiFE 1.0 and LiFE 2.0 were compared. Second, let's provide points of discussion for designing the strategic direction of the project and changing the perceptions of the participants through discussions related to LiFE 2.0 based on the above review.
