About PAG-L

 
 

The Policy Action Group on Learning (PAG-L) is an independent international group. Its mission, in concert with like-minded international organisations, is to suggest practicable alternatives in advancing an agenda promoting success in Lifelong Learning.

Its principles and values are embodied in the overarching purpose of PAG-L: to explore the impact of globalisation on education and learning from a humanistic and holistic perspective.


But the mission of PAG-L goes well beyond statements of principles, values and perspectives. Suggesting strategies for global success in Lifelong Learning requires:


  1. ➡ a critical and focussed analysis and a thorough and challenging assessment of recent global progress in education

  2. ➡ a clear identification of deficits in current approaches and gaps in implementation

  3. ➡ constructive and coherent alternative paths to improved outcomes in all phases of learning including,  but not restricted to, the domain of formal education

  4. ➡ the provision, at no cost to international audiences, of practical tools that can assist societies in meeting the evolving challenges of learning and development.
