description: Lifelong learning initiatives, whether utilising e-Learning or otherwise, are a relatively   new phenomenon in Malaysia. Education for many people is still characterised by   formal schooling; and for a certain disadvantaged section of the population, post-sec-  ondary education may not even be a possibility or an option. Out of the projected   number of 881, 247 individuals enrolled at upper secondary school level in 2010,   only 277, 904 (or 31.54 per cent) actually go on to participate in post-secondary   education (Government of Malaysia, 2006).  The remainder 68.46 per cent may gain   employment without furthering their education, or may not be employed at all. This   points to an even greater role that lifelong learning programmes has to play; as a   formal, non-formal or informal means for many more individuals to attain some form   of education to improve both their professional and personal lives. The foremost   individual who made the earliest proposal for the enculturation of lifelong learning   in Malaysia is the then incumbent Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad. During   and following his tenure, the Government began strategising to implement lifelong   learning, particularly in the 8MP, OPP3, KEMP, 9MP, NHEAP and NHESP. (Executive summary by the authors)
