European Qualification Framework launched |
|
|
On 26th of November 2007 the European
Qualification Framework has been
officially launched. It will act as a translation
device between the Member States'
qualifications systems.
The European Qualification Framework shifts the
focus away from learning inputs (such
as the length of a learning experience,
or the type of institution), to learning
outcomes.
The expected effects are:
-
a better match between education
and the needs of the labour market;
-
the validation of non-formal and
informal learning;
-
the transfer and use of qualifications
across different countries.
