Lifelong education provides impetus for the sustainable development of society. Building a lifelong education system and a learning society have become the themes of educational development and reform in today's era. Taiwan has been developing lifelong education for more than 20 years. It has been deeply involved in community education to serve community residents, attaches importance to family education to expand the support network, develops elderly education to actively respond to aging, promotes social education to expand the lifelong learning network, and carries out non-academic education learning achievement certification, highlighting its distinctive characteristics. By studying its lifelong education development path and characteristics, we can get inspiration and provide reference for promoting the development of lifelong education.
