In addition to the legal and policy framework regulating the different education sectors, lifelong learning and adult education are addressed through specific strategic and policy documents. The earlier reference framework was the Strategy for Adult Education adopted in 2010, which treated adult education as an integral part of the lifelong learning system. In 2025, a new Strategy for Adult Education 2025–2030 was adopted, while the new Law on Adult Education, adopted in late 2024, entered into force in January 2025. 

The new framework places particular emphasis on wider participation in adult learning, modernisation of provision, validation of non-formal and informal learning, lifelong guidance, outreach measures and the development of basic skills. These reforms form part of the broader ongoing education reforms in 2025, including the preparation of the Draft Education Strategy 2026–2032.
