Local community was the base of traditional lifelong education. Therefore, in the history of lifelong education, many educators has been devoted their efforts to their community for the realization of community integration and development through education of the marginalized. However, owing to the influence of globalization and neo-capitalism, current system of lifelong education has been changed to be efficient, centralized, individualized. So it is criticized in the fact that it does not meet the original ideals of lifelong education. With this view point, this study tried to disclose problems of current lifelong education that is directed by government, and planed by central educational institution. It should be programmed by local resident, and participated by them for the development of local community. So I suggested to go back to the community education and make a learning community in local area. Learning community can be a tool for the community development in which learners can study by themselves according to their interests and discuss, participate to the problems of community to solve it. Hence, Learning community can bring changes of modern society and make our community just for real learning society.
