Lifelong learning is the concept of individuals continuing to develop over their entire lifespan.
'Like for like' is a basis of comparison - usually of revenues - which seeks to exclude the effects of growth by acquisition or of any disposals.


It may include informal learning, as well as academic and professional development.
The like for like comparison only takes account of activities which were in existence during both of the periods being compared.


It is not confined to immediately practical knowledge and skills.


Like for like comparisons should be treated with care, as the selection and presentation of relevant activities for comparison may involve a degree of subjectivity on the part of the management whose performance is being reported on.

:These differences influence not only whether and how people learn, but also their learning objectives.
 
:It is therefore essential to diversify the content and provision of learning, to account for the inherently heterogeneous nature of learning and learners.
 
 
:However, heterogeneity in learners’ profiles, learning objectives, socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes towards learning and learning goals should be managed so that it does not lead to a strong separation in learning pathways, with important risks to social cohesion and inclusiveness."

(LFL).

'Like for like' is a basis of comparison - usually of revenues - which seeks to exclude the effects of growth by acquisition or of any disposals.

The like for like comparison only takes account of activities which were in existence during both of the periods being compared.


Like for like comparisons should be treated with care, as the selection and presentation of relevant activities for comparison may involve a degree of subjectivity on the part of the management whose performance is being reported on.

Management may - consciously or unconsciously - be influenced to present figures in a way that reflect well on its own performance.
