paper have been developed for LLG policy in Hungary (according to the UNESCO, OECD, EU-CEDEFOP, Dublin Foundation papers between 1998-2006)

Two HRD ministries (ed. and empl.) seldom get synchrony

Lack of political and social awareness on LLG issues (from the citizens, schools and employers side as well!) Talking about the learning society but do not really understand the small and necessary steps towards that.

Thank you for your kind attention!
