Lifelong learning aims to assist every individual to enrol in education activities and provide necessary support
throughout teaching and learning process. Lifelong learning practices are very important in terms of helping
individuals feel competent and developing entrepreneurship and leadership skills. Acknowledged as fundamental as
right to life, right to education may be constrained depending on education programs, personnel and learning
environment. European Commission (EC) states that regulations based on equality principle apply not only to
students at compulsory education age but also to those attending higher education institutions and the graduates as
well. Therefore lifelong learning based on principles such equality, participation and social integration as well as
improving higher education standards and education for all were identified as basic principles (EC, 2011). During
higher education, which is seen as the basis for future professional and social life, it is important for those with
disabilities to have regulations based on access to education and equality of opportunity. Regarding the right to
education article 26 of the universal declaration of human rights states that everybody has the right to education.
Primary school education is free and compulsory. Technical and vocational education is open for everyone. Higher
education should be accessible for everyone based on their talents. Despite those clear statements, although it is
stipulated by laws that individuals with disabilities have the right to education and be supported in terms of teaching
and learning within the same environment with their peers in every level, practices vary based on countries’
education policies (EC, 2011).
