Book excerpt: How should lifelong learning be financed? Palacios attempts to answer the question by creating a framework for analyzing different education financing mechanisms in light of particular characteristics of lifelong learning. The framework compares the different financing alternatives on four dimensions: (1) who ultimately pays for the education, (2) who finances its immediate costs, (3) how payments are made, and (4) who collects the payments. The author uses specific characteristics of lifelong learning to determine which among the financing alternatives are most useful. The characteristics are that the individual should decide what and where to study, carry a significant part of the financial burden, and be encouraged to continue learning through all life stages.Palacios analyzes the financing alternatives according to who ultimately pays for the education. Hence, the alternatives are classified either as cost-recovery or cost-subsidization alternatives. Cost-recovery alternatives include traditional loans, a graduate tax, human capital contracts, and income-contingent loans. Subsidization alternatives are those in which the state directly subsidizes institutions or in which the state gives vouchers to students. The author concludes that combining income-contingent loans and human capital contracts with vouchers is the most efficient and equitable method for financing lifelong learning.The author discusses the role of governments and multilateral organizations in improving the financing of lifelong learning. He assesses shifting toward cost-recovery alternatives, focusing on collection of payments, and aiming for the involvement of private capital as key issues that should be addressed to ensure that lifelong learning will be available for all equitably and efficiently.This paper - a product of the Education Team, Human Development Network - is part of a larger effort in the network to support the analytic work in lifelong learning in the global knowledge economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visionary guide for the future of learning and work Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Even Exist Yet offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a near-future where careers last 100 years, and education lasts a lifetime. The book makes the case that learners of the future are going to repeatedly seek out educational opportunities throughout the course of their working lives — which will no longer have a beginning, middle, and end. Long Life Learning focuses on the disruptive and burgeoning innovations that are laying the foundation for a new learning model that includes clear navigation, wraparound and funding supports, targeted education, and clear connections to more transparent hiring processes. Written by the former chief innovation officer of Strada Education Network’s Institute for the Future of Work, the book examines: How will a dramatically extended lifespan affect our careers? How will more time in the workforce shape our educational demands? Will a four-year degree earned at the start of a 100-year career adequately prepare us for the challenges ahead? Perfect for anyone with an interest in the future of education and Clayton Christensen’s theories of disruptive innovation, Long Life Learning provides an invaluable glimpse into a future that many of us have not even begun to imagine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents one result of the international conference on "Lifelong Learning as an Affordable Investment," held December 6-8, 2000 in Ottawa, Canada. It examines the economic and financial issues that arise in implementing lifelong learning and considers how the public and private sectors are actually addressing or might address them. Information for the six-chapter book was drawn from analyses, findings, and lessons from various components of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) work on financing lifelong learning, as well as from material from the Organization's thematic reviews on early childhood education and care, transitions from education to work, tertiary education, and adult learning. Chapter 1 lays out the broad questions that the report is intended to address. Chapter 2 analyzes the important economic and social factors behind the drive for lifelong learning, identifying some current gaps and imbalances that these trends have caused. Chapter 3 begins to establish a framework for a funding strategy source of funds, size of the task, and rationale for government intervention. Chapter 4 examines the costs and benefits of learning at different stages of the life cycle, suggesting reforms and identifying ways in which costs may be reduced and benefits increased in the future, thereby strengthening incentives to invest in lifelong learning. Chapter 5 highlights general funding issues relevant to lifelong learning and examines possible new funding mechanisms. The final chapter examines ways in which policy thinking will need to change to meet the lifelong learning challenge. A summary of the proceedings from the conference is appended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of the global knowledge economy is transforming the demands of the labour market in economies worldwide. It will require workers to develop new skills and knowledge, whilst education systems will need to adapt to the challenges of lifelong learning, and these changes will be as crucial in transition and developing economies as it is in the developed world. This publication explores how lifelong learning systems can encourage growth, discusses the changing nature of learning and the expanding role of the private sector in education, and considers the policy and financing options available to governments to address the challenges of the global knowledge economy.

Download or read book Financing Lifelong Learning for All written by Gerald Burke and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvements in lifelong learning are necessary for a range of overlapping reasons. The main ones are the changing needs of the labour force in a globalised economy, the aging of the population in high- income countries and inequalities in education, work and income. Increased lifelong learning for all is important for productivity but also to support social cohesion which in the longer term may underpin productivity. The paper draws on recent international discussions to consider: existing unmet needs and emerging needs for education and training; funds required compared to what is provided; and how additional funds might be found. The paper highlights some of the issues with reference to the experience of Australia. [Summary, ed].

Book excerpt: This document explores the feasibility of loans to support English adults engaging in lifelong learning. The following topics are considered: (1) the policy context (loans in higher education, individual learning accounts, and education maintenance allowances); (2) the need for financial support; (3) attitudes toward loans; (3) financial advice, financial literacy, and knowledge about the impact of debt; (4) the returns on investment in academic and vocational learning; and (5) the costs of participation. The following conclusions are reached: (1) it seems unlikely that loans will have any role in supporting students under the age of 19; (2) it is doubtful whether loans should play a significant role in supporting learners to access programs below level 3; (3) for programs at level 3 or above, the evidence about returns on investment suggests that borrowing to finance learning could be to an individual's benefit; (4) current fees in public sector part-time courses are well below the rate at which potential students seem to look to formal loan arrangements; and (5) loans would be most likely to contribute to lifelong learning in circumstances where a combination of fees and other participation costs is substantial and the program offers the prospect of high returns to students.
