This publication is the outcome of a survey collaboratively undertaken by Eurydice, the information network on education in Europe, and the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP). It provides a summary overview of initiatives to promote lifelong education and training that have been implemented in various European countries. The purpose is to describe activities supporting and promoting lifelong learning at European and national levels in accordance with the six key messages providing a framework for implementing lifelong learning, documented by the ‘Memorandum on lifelong learning’, published by the European Commission in October 2000 (indexed at TD/IRD 88.400). The key messages are: (1) new basic skills for all; (2) more investment in human resources; (3) innovation in teaching and learning; (4) valuing learning; (5) rethinking guidance and counselling; and (6) bringing learning closer to home.

This edition of the Global Inventory of Regional and National Qualifications Frameworks maintains the role established by preceding editions, gathering knowledge and insight from the international range of contexts in which regional and national qualifications frameworks operate. This volume's (Volume I) thematic focus is evidence of the degree to which three core areas are dominating the direction of reforming policies; digitisation, recognition of prior learning, and outcomes-based approaches to managing education and training.
Edited excerpts from publication.
The chapters in this volume are: (1) World Reference Levels for lifelong learning: a tool for comparison and recognition of learning outcomes; (2) Beyond qualifications as we know them today: digital credentials and interoperability; (3) The role of learning outcomes in governing and reforming education and training: reflections on strengths and limitations; (4) RVA that counts: what data do we need to nurture recognition, validation and accreditation of prior learning?; (5) Recognising prior learning experiences of migrants and refugees for inclusion; (6) Accessing and acquiring skills and qualifications: connecting people to national qualifications frameworks.

Continuous vocational education and training (CVET) for all is essential to respond to increased global competition and changing technological and socioeconomic requirements. What can be done to make use of the full potential that CVET has to offer individuals, enterprises, society and the economy? How can participation in CVET be increased and access to it extended, especially for disadvantaged groups that traditionally participate the least? How can high-quality provision be ensured? This CVET policy handbook addresses policy-makers, enterprises, social partners and other stakeholders. It aims at strengthening CVET by providing policy guidance illustrated with concrete examples of effective practices. It highlights the importance of CVET for smart and inclusive growth and shows the benefits of investing in it. It gives an overview of the current position in Europe and describes success factors and good practices for widening access and participation and for promoting high-quality CVET provision for all.

This publication aims to contribute to better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Slovakia, providing an insight into its main features and highlighting recent VET policy developments. The Slovak economy is largely driven by manufacturing and could benefit from more diversification to make it less sensitive to economic shocks and more skill-intensive jobs, encouraging innovation. VET has traditionally played a strong role, responsible for around two-thirds of graduates at upper secondary level. But qualifications do not always match labour market needs. A 'dual' VET scheme was introduced in 2015-16 as one way to address mismatch. First results show greater involvement of employers in VET: it is now in their interest to attract learners and to deliver job-relevant training. The government also intends to promote VET at higher levels to make it more attractive.
