(3) Evaluation of Lifelong Learning Achievements
In switching over to a lifelong learning system, it is important
to reconsider the idea that formal educational institutions must be at the heart
of all education. It is also necessary to evaluate people's lifelong learning
achievements. More adequate evaluations of such achievements will not only encourage
specific individuals but will also promote the value of such achievements in
people's social and occupational lives. With this in view, the Ministry has since
made efforts to develop the evaluation and utilization of learning achievements
by implementing, for example, the program of examination and certification of
knowledge and skills in 13 subjects including practical English.
