The educational philosophy and lifelong education theory of Seongam and Comenius are quite similar, and their direction is the same as faith in God. What the two thinkers have in common is that they focus on language education and that education pursues wisdom rather than knowledge. Since humans have the freedom and right to receive education from birth until death, the emphasis on lifelong education goes along the same lines. Recognizing that we need to recognize the need for our neighbors, especially the marginalized and the uneducated, and provide them with opportunities for education is one way to put God's love and neighborly love into practice.
Soengam Education Philosophy can largely suggest the direction of future lifelong education in three frameworks. We clearly recognize the limitations of presenting a more specific program for future lifelong education. Nevertheless, it is necessary to suggest the direction of future lifelong education in a larger framework. The first is future lifelong education as the realization of love for neighbors, the second is future lifelong education as the realization of justice and peace, and the last is future lifelong education in the 4th industrial era and the global era.
