Abstract	Lifelong learning has a crucial role in enabling individuals to handle key transition points in their lives, but what can education do to prepare them for the final, inevitable transition. Some of the educational contribution to managing the final transition is very broad, a matter of general enlightenment. But there are some more specific educational applications. In several ways these relate to the "citizens curriculum" being proposed in "Learning Through Life", the report of the Inquiry into the Future for Lifelong Learning, where it is suggested that the curriculum comprise four principal components or capabilities: (1) digital; (2) health; (3) financial; and (4) civic. The author stresses that education can help individuals to understand the whole process better, with the preparation or with the management of the change, and with their social attitudes to death and dying.
