In an increasingly globalized world, people need a wide range of skills to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing environment. The original lifelong learning program was designed to provide people with learning opportunities at all stages of life. Key competencies are a set of knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes that all individuals need for personal fulfillment and development, social inclusion and finding a job. These should have been developed at the end of compulsory education and must act as a foundation for learning, as part of lifelong education. Currently in the pedagogical literature, competencies are interpreted as learning outcomes (outputs), as opposed to educational objectives (considered inputs). These competencies are structured sets of knowledge, skills and values. It is believed that there can be no equivalence between the formulations of competences and the different types of expression of objectives. They cannot be reduced or assimilated to each other. Competence is the pupil‟s ability to solve a certain situation, based on previously acquired skills and knowledge.
