Officer Education of Certain Countries in International Comparison

Abstract

At the beginning of the millenium life-long learning turned to be a fundamental issue in all aspects of life. Due to the increasing competition, the development and acknowledgement of individual knowledge, capability and competency became key to the competitiveness not only of organizations and institutions, but also for the employment and cohesion of societies. As a result of globalisation, it has become common practice for people to try to get by in different countries for study or work. The need for lifelong learning is no exeption to the officer‘s profession and the officer training, which, while retaining national specificities, requires considerable international needs and comparison in recent decades.
