What is VN’s most What is VN’s most important resource?important resource?

Down to community level (CLC)Down to community level (CLC)But with the bigger picture in mindBut with the bigger picture in mind
1. Changing structure of the economy2. Aging society3. Equity: Rapid economic growth does not
always translate to rapid decline of always translate to rapid decline of poverty…e.gVN and Mozambique(WB study): similar growth but not similar reduction in poverty
1% increase in national GDP lowered poverty head count by:
0.4% in Mozambique1.7% in VN

FACTORS THAT DRIVE LLLFACTORS THAT DRIVE LLL• Will help reduce inequalities, exclusion• LLL is a survival issue: to deal with rapid change, new
situations in personal, social & working lives. • Sense of optimism: skills can be learnt at any age; LLL
allows access to learning when needed NOT because of reaching a certain AGE.
• A foundation for an emerging learning/knowledge society: growing recognition that learning and investment society: growing recognition that learning and investment in human capital leads to economic growth and development of social capital including greater civic participation …
• Learning = not only means to gain skills but a process of developing a complete person through discovering the potentials for and revealing the treasure within each of us. This emphasized ‘Learning to Be” going beyond instrumental view of education such as “learning to know”, ‘to do’, and ‘to live together’.
