“…It has not a definition because it "is such a broad concept that is difficult to reach a clear, uncontested definition (Chapman and Aspin, 1997). It is based on three principles: "lifelong learning is life-long, life-wide and centered on learning, rather than on education and on educational institutions" (Schuetze and Casey, 2006); "lifelong learning embraces all learning, including that which takes place both formally and informally within organizations, universities and colleges of education" (Chapman and Aspin, 1997); "it has implications not only for adult education, but also for all those involved in primary education, for colleges of education, for universities, for all students, for teachers and, indeed for school children" (Dolan, 2012).…”

“…"Learning how to learn and learning across the lifespan must be more than mere slogans, they should be written into all teacher education programmes and their principles should inform curricula, content, context and pedagogical approaches of all teaching and learning opportunities" (Dolan, 2012).

The professional standards for teachers provide the competences needed for this occupation, in function of the level of education and of the career stages. This study aims to discover the most important training factors which contribute to the acquisition of teacher competences and to (Dolan, 2012) and we will study the applicability of them in our university. Keywords: teacher competences, lifelong learning, professional standards. CONTEXT OF THE RESEARCHDuring the last two decades, the education in Romania was reformed several times, with the purpose to adapt its outcomes to the new educational policy requirements, to the digital era's new generations of children, to the European recommendations. The main agents of these changes are the teachers, who had to adapt their work, to modify the teaching-learning methodology, to acquire new skills, to alter the previous beliefs in education. In this fast-changing world, it is vital that the teachers have the essential competences in order to be effective in the classroom, ensuring to raising levels of pupil's attainment. But teachers need to help students acquire not only "the skills that are easiest to teach and easiest to test, but more importantly, ways of thinking (creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making and learning); ways of working (communication and collaboration); tools for working (including information and communications technologies); and skills around citizenship, life and career and personal and social responsibility for success in modern democracies" (OECD 2011).

This paper discusses the various ways privatisation processes affect Irish education. Due to the long history of considerable church involvement, the notable absence of middle tiers of governance, and more recently, the embrace of neoliberal principles, in large part due to and for economic reasons, the Irish education system represents a fascinating example of a complex interplay between the public and private sectors. The conceptual and analytical tools provided by Cultural Political Economy are used in this paper to highlight why and how privatisation has unfolded and might yet unravel further in Irish education. These tools offer a useful lens through which to examine country-specific developments, whilst locating them in the global picture. Utilising the conceptualisations offered by Cultural Political Economy, this paper demonstrates how different forms of privatisation in Ireland have contributed to what can be described as a complex system of governance with strong private involvement.
