Read the following passage about lifelong learning and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Lifelong learning is the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal or
professional development (Knowles, 2020). [II] This concept emphasizes that learning does not stop after
formal education, but rather continues throughout an individual's life, adapting to changing circumstances
and needs. [III] In today’s fast-paced world, where technology and job markets evolve rapidly, lifelong
learning has become increasingly essential. [IV]
One of the primary benefits of lifelong learning is its ability to enhance employability. Individuals who
engage in continuous education are more likely to keep their skills relevant and competitive in the job
market. According to a report by the World Economic Forum (2021), over 50% of employees will need
reskilling due to technological advancements in the coming years. Lifelong learners are better equipped to
adapt to these changes, making them more attractive candidates for employers.
Moreover, lifelong learning contributes to personal fulfillment and mental well-being. Engaging in new
learning experiences can stimulate the brain, foster creativity, and improve cognitive function. Research
indicates that individuals who pursue learning opportunities throughout their lives tend to report higher
levels of happiness and life satisfaction (Smith & Johnson, 2019). Whether it is taking a course, learning a
new language, or picking up a new hobby, the process of acquiring knowledge can be enriching and
enjoyable.
In addition, lifelong learning promotes social engagement and community involvement. Participating in
educational programs or community workshops can foster connections with others who share similar
interests. This social aspect of learning can enhance one's sense of belonging and support networks, which
are crucial for mental health (Jones, 2022).
Overall, lifelong learning is not just an individual responsibility; it requires support from educational
institutions, employers, and communities to create an environment conducive to continuous education. By
fostering a culture of learning, society can better prepare individuals for the challenges of the future and
ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
(Adapted from The Importance of Lifelong Learning by Knowles, Smith, Johnson, and others)
