Changes in education, in its concept, has always changed in response to changes in society. The current trend of lifelong learning is therefore closely tied not only to societal trends, but also to education and, thus, with creatively humanist, trends whose goal is personality development and the constructivist creation of new knowledge. The primary aim of educators is the personality development of the learner, who is to be educated and consequently equipped not only with the necessary knowledgeable, but also with cognitive and social competences, and the moral and spiritual values of life.
