Education and lifelong learning are priorities of any educational system. Moreover, the European Union has adopted a set of policies and promoted a series of programmes meant to improve the educational systems of the Member-States and enhance cooperation. Education and continuous education are a matter of personal fulfilment and achievement of economic and social goals.

Education and Continuous Education contains 20 papers grouped into four chapters covering the social factors affecting educational systems and the specific issues of adolescence, youth, and adulthood. Five essays belong to the realm of social theology whose practical impact on educational systems in Romania and abroad cannot be denied. The book is meant to be a valuable tool for both a wider audience and professionals in the field of education (including educators, teachers, professors, psychologists, doctors, social workers, and researchers in social sciences) involved in continuous education. The book will also appeal to all those interested in interdisciplinary approaches.
