(3) Promotion of Cooperation among Lifelong Learning Facilities
In the development of facilities for lifelong learning in the
years to come, it is essential to promote cooperation systems among facilities
for lifelong learning, to actively provide all kinds of information, and to develop
and utilize social education facilities and school facilities for the convenience
of local residents. The Ministry of Education, Science and Culture provides subsidies
to those local governments involved in these endeavors, and also encourages the
setting up of "lifelong learning centers". In FY 1989, a new subsidy scheme was
introduced to encourage the formation of networks among lifelong learning facilities.
