GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF HOLISTIC
POLICY IN THE SPHERE OF LIFELONG LEARNING
To build a successful lifelong learning system, the state, as it has been noted several times
above, must make significant changes. At the same time, forming the policy for a unified cross-
cutting vision of the lifelong learning system, it is possible to highlight the following aspects

common National Council (governmental commission, agency, etc.), which includes the
consideration of thematically different aspects or organizing sectional work on sub-sectors
within the general body.
After the approval of the Concept on the policy elaboration for the lifelong learning, it is
