Declan spoke with reference to Kelly (2003) , and what it says about the lifelong learning landscape i.e. that students no longer exclusively study full-time or are solely focused on education; lifelong learning is not necessarily based in a particular location at a particular time and that flexible and modular approaches are necessary; and it is recognised that learners themselves bring knowledge and competencies to education and training. He discussed the factors - political, economic social, technological, environmental and legal - influencing lifelong learning policies and practices within institutions, with particular reference to the experience of St. Angela’s College.
