"It's helpful to everybody. Jonjo's a very promising player for us but the difficulty for us is to get him a game," said the Liverpool boss. "He needs games and it's a fantastic opportunity for Jonjo to do that.
"It's educational for us because we'll get to see him play and it'll also be educational for Jonjo because he's playing at a good level with a good club.
"It is important for us to use as many opportunities as we can to develop the players and if we can't give them games here then we've got to look to get them playing somewhere else.
"It's a chance for Jonjo to develop and push harder for a first-team spot here.
"We've put him out because we want him educated and to see him develop, not because we want to see him go. It's purely progress for him."
Dalglish also commented on Alberto Aquilani and Joe Cole who are at AC Milan and Lille respective.y.
"They're not forgotten. We keep monitoring them so we know where we're going.
"For Alberto it's an opportunity for him to go back home and if he does well then they'll purchase him.
"For Joe Cole it was a fantastic opportunity for him to go and play Champions League football and also in France, which is a league that I think will suit Joe down to the ground and he's done really well since he's gone there."
