Developing qualifications frameworks as a tool for modernising education and training : analysis of the experience of EU partner countries in building national qualification frameworks

Qualifications systems are useful tools for modernising education and training.

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.
