“Lifelong Learning Foundations: A Systematic Review of Early Education with Integration of the Omnibus Policy on Kindergarten Education”

This systematic review focuses on lifelong learning, which means continuously gaining knowledge and skills throughout life, starting from early childhood. The study examines how early education, especially kindergarten, plays an important role in developing the basic skills needed for lifelong learning. It also looks at the Omnibus Policy on Kindergarten Education in the Philippines, which aims to provide all children with quality, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate education. The review found that children who receive proper kindergarten education are better prepared for future schooling and are more likely to become successful lifelong learners. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of teacher training, and unequal access to education still affect the full implementation of the policy. Overall, the study shows that strong early education programs and effective policies are important in building a solid foundation for lifelong learning and helping individuals succeed in the long term.
