It is expected that in the "knowledge society" individuals will be able to derive far greater personal benefit from education - above all in terms of broadening the options for their personal lives, improving the quality of their lives and averting labour market risks - if they are responsible for and co-finance this process themselves. Lifelong learning has become a key focus in Germany in recent years, both for innovations in the education system and for efforts to open up greater opportunities for disadvantaged groups. In this paper we discuss the action programme and some projects for the lifelong learning of German government. Furthermore the efforts for the lifelong learning in the private sector, for example learning on the job, vocational training, continuing training, will be discussed.
