There are so many social problems faced by an aging society.
Most countries try to seek a variety of solutions for the problems.
The Korean government has already initiated several solving
projects in order to boost social participation, employment,
continuing education for the older adults, but the problems might
be much more severe in aged society or super-aged society. Thus,
the post-tertiary compulsory education system for the older adults
was suggested as a plan or strategy which could prevent or
reduce the possibilities of occurrence for the problems in this
article. The system would have a number of functions of mental
and physical health management, intergenerational communication,
social participation, self-actualization and so on for the older adults,
resulting in improving their quality of life through active aging as
well as successful aging. How the system would be managed,
what components should be included in the curriculum, and what
effects would be expected from implementing the system were also
stated in this article.
