While making lifelong learning a reality for all is fast becoming an attainable goal in the most advanced societies, it still represents a formidable challenge for countries struggling with basic development issues. For developing countries, creating the economic, educational and employment conditions that will provide everyone an opportunity to learn throughout life remains a Utopian ideal. Thus, in low development contexts, changes in the international environment such as the rise of knowledge-based economies and globalization, reinforce the ideal of lifelong learning as one of the primary national goals for the future. In an effort to address both domestic development issues and the impact, both concrete and ideological, of global trends, governments attempt to find new ways of providing essential knowledge and skills to their citizens. In this context, reaching the disadvantaged groups of society represents an increasing concern, particularly in terms of achieving an environment conducive to lifelong learning.
