Book excerpt: In examining the barriers to lifelong learning, it becomes evident that various obstacles remain, such as institutional constraints, personal circumstances, and ingrained societal norms. Overcoming these barriers requires concerted efforts across multiple levels, including policy reform that promotes inclusive access to education, strategic awareness campaigns to shift societal perceptions about learning, and the provision of resources that support flexible learning pathways. The globalized context of lifelong learning introduces both opportunities and complexities. As countries grapple with the challenges posed by an interconnected world, the need for a globally competent workforce becomes paramount. Lifelong learning emerges as a strategy to prepare individuals not only to survive but to thrive in such dynamic environments. Developing cultural competence and global awareness are critical competencies that lifelong learners must cultivate.
