The Lifelong Learning Council Queensland is an unfunded, voluntary, non-government organisation with a membership drawn from the broad spectrum of adult and community learning and education in the public, private and community arenas. The Council has a strong belief in the importance of lifelong learning.
According to Delors (1998) lifelong learning involves:
• learning to know,
• learning to do,
• learning to live and work together, and
• learning to be.
This is underpinned by the importance of “learning how to learn”.
The Lifelong Learning Council Queensland is the peak organisation in the field and promotes adult and community learning in its diversity of forms and raises the profile of learning in the community.

|  | Case for ACE : Getting Queenslanders Learning and Working
Approximately 50% of Queenslanders have literacy and numeracy levels below Year 9 schooling. This creates a major issue for living and working in our technological culture.
LLCQ has a plan to improve the literacy levels to 75% of Queenslanders with Year 9 and above through the development of Adult and Community Education.
LLCQ wants to bring learning to where people are, rather than bringing people to institutions when they are just starting on a learning path (160k)  | |
