Abstract
The aim of this study is to measure and evaluate competitiveness of lifelong learning systems of BRICS countries in the respect of National Lifelong Learning System (NLLS). To analyze the data, this study used the mechanism model and 32 indicators and 12 sub-factors developed to measure the NLLS of developing countries. As a result of the Global Lifelong Learning Index (GLLI) measurement, China and Russia were relatively strong, while Brazil and South Africa formed the middle group. India scored relatively low. However, there are areas of lifelong education that each country should focus on, and this study compared and analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the lifelong learning systems of each BRICS country. It is expected that the findings of this study will be used as standards to evaluate lifelong learning-related policies and make decisions to raise NLLS competitiveness, and as basic materials to know current NLLS situations of BRICS countries.
