Abstract
The paper concentrates on the life-long education. The rapidly changing world is a challenge for both individuals and states as the performance of the work-force is one of the most important factors of any state’s long term success in both financial and social sectors. The paper proposes an e-education system that should be funded by the state and exposed to all citizens in order to constantly upgrade their skills. It is a state service targeted to individuals of different ages as an alternative to the massive education targeted exclusively to the young people. The paper also outlines the model of such system and suggests the way it can be built.
