Abstract

The concept of lifelong education is an important educational thought aimed at future education strategies. Modern lifelong education thoughts originated in the UK in the early 20th century, initially developed in Europe and the United States, and gradually spread to and influenced various countries in Asia. This paper reviews the history of the dissemination of lifelong education thoughts in the UK, utilizing historical-factor analysis to summarize the experiences and patterns of its historical development. It focuses on the pathways for the dissemination and absorption of lifelong education thoughts in China's adult education and higher education sectors in the near future, aiming to contribute to the goal of modernizing Chinese education.
