Most people view education as a lifelong process, and I am one of them. In my opinion, education is not only referred to education at schools or colleges, but also that received at home or else, People can not only be taught by teachers and professors, but also by themselves. Therefore nowadays lifelong education of all forms becomes more and more necessary and popular.
It's well acknowledged that children and youths should receive proper education to learn basic knowledge and skills for their future life and career, but nowadays it seems that more adults join in the trend of lifelong education. Some of them are willing to do so while others are reluctant but forced to because of the ever fast developing world.
As the new facilities and techniques are applied from time to time, what people learned before is no longer useful just in time. New knowledges take the place of the old so quickly. In order to keep their own competitive position, people have to receive more education to adapt the new environment. Since the new knowledge gradually becomes old again, they have to start a new round of learning. Once education is stopped. one will fall behind and be excluded. Fast developing society and high job requirement keep education as a lifelong process. 
To these people who are not under so heavy pressure, education is also a lifelong process. As the world is changing, people's thoughts and concepts are changing, too. New words and new fashions are often encountered everywhere in the daily life. Many old people go to college again to receive education, because they don't want to be regarded as antiques by their grandchildren. Old people in fashion make the world more beautiful and full of life.
In a word, I think education as a lifelong process is a trend of the modern society. Education, and only education will keep people always in the front of the world.
