Viewpoint: Never too old to learn

Abstract

To speak of education and old age in the same breath sounds paradoxical, even slightly absurd. Education has always been for the young, and it seems odd to suggest that the old should continue to be educated; for, as the saying goes, you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Well there may be some truth in that, although it depends on which old dog you mean.
