Abstract

The new millennium has witnessed serious efforts taken by the Malaysian government to promote lifelong learning in the country. Enculturation of lifelong learning was incorporated as a strategic thrust in the National Higher Education Strategic Plan in 2007. In the past two decades, the government has put in place systems and policies to liberalize the Malaysian education system, especially in distance online learning, skill education and to recognize prior experiential learning. However, the result has been evidently mixed. This study introduces and examines the efforts taken so far and the challenges faced.
