ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses how lifelong learning, as developed in the context of universities in Brazil, has been interpreted in recent Brazilian educational policies. Our particular focus is the final Conferência Nacional de Educação (National Conference for Education) document (CONAE 2010), which is the basis for the Brazilian government’s ten-year Plano Nacional de Educação (National Educational Plan), or PNE, which is supposed to guide the national educational system from 2011 to 2021.
