Abstract

The idea of lifelong education was formally put forward in the 1960s, and academic research in this field has been on the ascendant for many years. Some developed countries have studied lifelong education earlier and have established a relatively complete and national lifelong education system. As the largest developing country, China is still groping for the development of lifelong education. This study selects the United States and Germany as the analysis objects and finds some common characteristics in the development processes of these two developed countries by studying their lifelong education policies and system construction and puts forward some reasonable suggestions based on China’s national conditions. The research found that both the United States and Germany attach importance to education legislation, constantly constructing systems, and implementing education funding. These measures constantly promote the construction of a lifelong education system and mechanism. This study also puts forward some suggestions to China based on these three aspects. Firstly, the government should improve the legal system of lifelong education and strengthen the leading role of policies. Secondly, enrich the construction of the lifelong education system and broaden the learning platform. Finally, broaden the channels of fundraising and realize the diversification of funding sources.
