The Vital Condition of Lifelong Leaning
Lifelong Learning is one of seven interrelated “vital conditions” that comprise the Vital Conditions for Community Health and Well-being Framework.
A good education ensures that young people are set up for success and can reach their full potential. Education starts at birth and continues into meaningful careers, with ongoing opportunities to learn and grow.
Supportive learning environments maximize student learning and positively shape social and behavioral development. Education is also an engine of social mobility. Higher levels of education are linked with more income, better health, and increased opportunities.
