Since the founding of New China, China’s lifelong education system has gone through a process ranging from initial exploration to overall development. Through the organic combination of policy potential energy, resource potential energy, technology potential energy and cultural potential energy, the modernization of Chinese lifelong education can be promoted. In the context of Chinese style modernization, the development of lifelong education is closely combined with national strategies, integrating Chinese cultural characteristics, focusing on coordinated regional development, and constantly promoting social equity and inclusiveness. In the future, it is necessary to continuously innovate the education system, expand educational resources, strengthen policy guarantees, cultivate a lifelong learning culture and strengthen international exchanges and cooperation to promote the reform and development of lifelong education in China.
