In the dynamic landscape of the modern world, the concept of lifelong learning has emerged as a powerful tool for personal and social development, but it seems that Albania has not yet embraced this approach.
Data from the European Training Foundation (ETF) show that, in 2022, only 0.7% of the population aged 25-64 had participated in a treatment related to updating knowledge, reports Monitor.al .
This was the lowest regional level, since in Serbia almost 6% of this age group attend training, in Montenegro 3.2%, in North Macedonia 2.5% and in Bosnia 1.8%. In the European Union, more than 11% of the population aged 25-64 participated in training in 2022.
The concept of lifelong learning is important for an individual's competitiveness and employability and positively affects work performance.
But according to Monitor.al, businesses in Albania invest very little in human resources and do not use stimulating instruments such as bonuses, rewards and training to increase the professionalization of staff.
