Abstract

Technology, medical development and increased awareness of maintaining health have extended life expectancies, thereby increasing the elderly population. This increase has resulted in the need for further studies and policies on elderly people, including studies into educational planning for elderly people. In order to ensure an active and successful ageing process, it is therefore important to plan educational programs for the elderly by adopting a common approach, one that is in line with health, sheltering, disability, and social-welfare policies and prioritize the needs of elderly people.

Keywords: Elderly education; Adult education; Successful ageing process
