ANOTATION The present work explores the role and significance of education in lives of the seniors. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part contains an overview of the topic's treatment in domestic literature, definition of basic terms and a description of selected aspects of the elderly's life, and an outline of lifelong learning system in the Czech republic. The second part is based on an empirical research and attempts to shed light at, as the title suggests, the role which education plays in lives of the czech elderly and significance it bears for them. Data for the analysis will be acquired through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods (a telephone survey and in-depth interview). The work closes with relevant annexes and a list of resources used. KEY WORDS senior, senium, education, lifelong education, gerontopedagogy, motivation, meaning of life
