Lifelong learning stands at the very core of the global education agenda and SDG 4, with a commitment to ensure ‘inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Central Asian education systems have been successful in ensuring near-universal literacy, including among adults, as well as the universal provision of education at the primary and secondary levels. However, the legacy of the Soviet Union has resulted in a certain inflexibility of education systems in the sub-region, as well as their inability to rapidly adapt to the diverse needs of learners—posing a significant challenge to ensuring lifelong learning.
