Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second Cedefop overview on the development of national qualifications frameworks (NQF) confirms the importance and priority attributed to the development of national qualifications frameworks (NQF) across Europe. Thirty-one countries (27 members of the European Union, the candidate countries Croatia and Turkey and European Economic Area countries (Iceland and Norway) are developing or implementing a national qualification framework. These frameworks help link national systems of qualification to the European Qualification Framework. Member States also see them as tools that support national reforms and coherent lifelong learning policies. NQFs are instrumental in promoting the use of the learning outcomes approach and in addressing barriers between vocational education and training and higher education in Europe.

This publication focuses on the reality of policy development in different countries. After reminding the reader that education and training systems, and therefore qualifications systems, are always closely integrated with a country’s social and cultural priorities, this volume shows that there is evidence from a range of countries that learning can be enhanced by developing the recognition of learning through qualifications and by defining qualifications levels.

Book excerpt: Qualifications are a key element of higher education policies in general and of the Bologna Process in particular. Much work has been accomplished in this area over the past few years, and a proper understanding of qualifications is essential to making the European Higher Education Area a reality. This book provides a systematic overview of the concept of qualifications, discusses its main elements, such as Ievel, workload, quality, profile and learning outcomes, examines generic and subject-specific competences. The author also considers the development of qualifications frameworks and explores the impact of our understanding of the concept of qualifications on recognition.Sjur Bergan is Head of the Department of Higher Education and History Teaching of the Council of Europe, a member of the Bologna Follow-Up Group and one of the authors of the Council of Europe/UNESCO Recognition Convention. He has played an active role in the development of the overarching qualifications framework of the European Higher Education Area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National qualifications frameworks (NQFs) (1) have, during the last five years, turned into key instruments for the restructuring and reform of education, training and qualifications systems in Europe. While very few countries had considered this approach prior to 2005, the situation today is very different. As this report will show, the majority of EU and EEA countries (as well as candidate countries to the EU) are currently working actively on the development and implementation of national frameworks (2). While the number of countries having fully implemented an NQF is still low (Ireland, France, Malta and the UK), almost all EU and EEA countries are now signalling that they will introduce comprehensive, overarching NQFs covering all parts of their education, training and qualifications systems.

Book excerpt: Initial work on the European qualifications framework (EQF) started 10 years ago, in autumn 2004. Partly triggered by this initiative, qualifications frameworks have since become integral parts of almost all education and training systems in Europe. Outside Europe, more and more countries and regions (such as Asia-Pacific) are rapidly developing and implementing qualifications frameworks. Over this period, Cedefop has been systematically mapping and analysing emergence of qualifications frameworks in different settings and for different purposes.--

This book was released on 2013 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is a global, country-by-country, inventory of National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs). It is a copublication, prepared by two EU agencies, the European Training Foundation (ETF) and the Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop); and UNESCO's Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and the Section for TVET at UNESCO headquarters. It has been produced at the request of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Ministers of Education as a contribution to the fourth ASEM Ministers' conference in Kuala Lumpur in May 2013, also called ASEMME 4. Qualifications frameworks was one of the key items on the ASEMME 4 programme in Kuala Lumpur, reflecting the priority the participating countries attach to Qualification Frameworks (QFs) and the increasing prominence QFs occupy on the wider international policy agenda. Beyond the immediate goal of supporting the conference, this survey is also intended to capture the latest trends and developments in the field of QFs worldwide. Each of the four contributing institutions is engaged in the study of qualifications frameworks and in supporting countries in developing NQFs. Collectively, the four bodies cover the great majority of countries where NQFs are emerging and possess a wealth of experience and expertise in this field. This overview is descriptive and analytical rather than conclusive in its treatment of qualifications frameworks as reform tools. The inventory comprises two parts: six thematic chapters which analyse the aims, characteristics and uses of QFs; and country chapters. The country chapters will be updated by the ETF, Cedefop and UIL and the Section for TVET at UNESCO Headquarters as new developments in the field occur. Individual chapters contain references. [This paper was prepared for the ASEM Education Ministers Conference (Kuala Lumpur, May 13-14, 2013) (ASEMME 4).].

This book was released on 2012 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Cedefop report reviews progress made across Europe during 2007-10 in developing guidance policy coordination, quality assurance mechanisms, access to services and career management skills. According to the review, the overall EU policy framework and changed economic conditions are bringing national governments and authorities (policy level), guidance communities (practice) and academic bodies (research) closer and building collaboration, consensus and partnerships. Together they are locating assets and resources, identifying and engaging stakeholders, defining and completing joint goals and objectives, and balancing a diverse range of interests in order to achieve success. Increasing cooperation among guidance stakeholders aims at creating better synergies between the different sectors (education, training, employment), levels (European, national, regional, local) and guidance service providers (educational institutions, public employment services, guidance centres). A synthesising observation is that a future challenge for Europe will be to define the characteristics of a lifelong guidance system and to agree on what needs to be done next to make such a system a reality to support lifelong learning, better employability, sustainable employment, social inclusion and active citizenship for all.

Book excerpt: Building on the dynamic sparked by its 2008 recommendation on the establishment of the European qualifications framework for lifelong learning (EQF), the Council agreed on a revised recommendation in 2017. The intention was to strengthen EQF implementation across countries, systems and institutions, with a view to raising people's 'employability, (...) mobility and access to further education'. The European Commission, all EU Member States, a number of third countries, social partners and many other stakeholders work together to ensure consistent, transparent and coordinated mapping ('referencing') of national qualifications frameworks to the EQF. The frameworks' systematic use of learning outcomes fosters transparency and comparability of qualifications across countries and systems. There has been steady progress and, now, imagining European education and training systems without the frameworks has become quite impossible.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, political commitment and technical work towards developing and implementing national qualifications frameworks across Europe was strengthened. Cedefop's fifth annual report and analysis on European NQF developments confirms that qualifications frameworks are a key tool for improving transparency and comparability of qualifications at national and international levels. Evidence shows that frameworks increasingly trigger reforms and are used to support incremental changes in education and training. Although still uneven across countries and sectors, NQFs have strengthened the implementation of learning outcomes approaches and have brought together stakeholders from different sectors of education, training and employment in renewal and development of new qualifications, for example at EQF level 5. More countries are opening up their NQFs to qualifications outside the formal, public system of qualifications, such as those awarded by non-formal and private institutions, and strengthening the links to arrangements for validating non-formal and informal learning. The progress made on NQFs has made it possible for more countries to complete their linking to the EQF; 23 countries had linked their national qualifications levels to EQF levels by December 2014.

Book excerpt: As countries across Europe are pushing ahead with their national qualifications frameworks (NQFs), the question of the frameworks' added value and contribution to policies and practices is taking centre stage. While every NQF is unique, being organically woven into the fabric of a country's education and training system, the frameworks share many features. They are based on learning outcomes, support consistency of qualifications, and bring together stakeholders from across the board. Since its inception in 2008, the European qualifications framework (EQF) has been the common reference tool bringing European countries' NQFs together. The recently revised EQF Council recommendation encourages the trend towards comprehensive frameworks which include qualifications of all types and levels, awarded by different bodies and subsystems. It also addresses the question of their impact, stressing the need to make their contribution to lifelong learning, employability, mobility and social integration more visible to end-users.

This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the major outcomes of the third edition of the Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC 3) which was held on 27-29 November 2017. It acknowledges the importance of a continued dialogue between researchers and decision-makers and benefits from the experience already acquired, this way enabling the higher education community to bring its input into the 2018-2020 European Higher Education Area (EHEA) priorities. The Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC) has already established itself as a landmark in the European higher education environment. The two previous editions (17-19 October 2011, 24-26 November 2014), with approximately 200 European and international participants each, covering more than 50 countries each, were organized prior to the Ministerial Conferences, thus encouraging a consistent dialogue between researchers and policy makers. The main conclusions of the FOHE Conferences were presented at the EHEA Ministerial Conferences (2012 and 2015), in order to make the voice of researchers better heard by European policy and decision makers. This volume is dedicated to continuing the collection of evidence and research-based policymaking and further narrowing the gap between policy and research within the EHEA and broader global contexts. It aims to identify the research areas that require more attention prior to the anniversary 2020 EHEA Ministerial Conference, with an emphasis on the new issues on rise in the academic and educational community. This book gives a platform for discussion on key issues between researchers, various direct higher education actors, decision-makers, and the wider public.

Book Synopsis Selling Out Education by : Stephanie Allais

Book excerpt: Selling Out Education argues that basing education policy on qualifications and learning outcomes—dramatized by the phenomenal expansion of qualifications frameworks—is misguided. Qualifications frameworks are intended to make education more responsive to the needs of economies and societies by improving how qualifications and credentials are used in labour markets. But using learning outcomes as the starting point of education programmes neglects the core purpose of education: giving people access to bodies of knowledge they would not otherwise have. Furthermore, instead of creating demand for skilled workers through industrial and economic policy, qualifications frameworks are premised on the flawed idea that a supply of skilled workers leads to industrial and economic development. And skilled workers are to be supplied not by encouraging governments to focus attention on creating, improving, and supporting education institutions, but by suggesting that governments take a quality-assurance role. As a result, in poor countries where provision is weak to start with, qualifications have been created and institutions established to monitor providers without increasing or improving education provision. The weaknesses of many current policy approaches make clear, Allais argues, that education is inherently a collective good, and that the acquisition of bodies of knowledge provide the basis for its integrity and intelligibility.
