This report provides an account of recent developments in Europe and in the Mediterranean region in the field of qualifications and the recognition of qualifications. It concerns the internal and international recognition of qualifications, providing an analysis of why the recognition of qualifications has become an important issue on policy agendas, what the challenges are, and how countries and territories in the Middle East and North Africa, and elsewhere, are responding. The conclusions reached will focus on national and international issues facing countries and territories in the Mediterranean region, reforms that are underway and further steps that can be taken. Chapter two of the report sets out the main factors that are motivating or driving an increased interest in the region in improving the recognition of qualifications. Chapter three describes how global factors (such as inward investment and migration in internationalised labour markets) and international and European policy responses (such as the Bologna process for higher education and the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF)) are influencing policies for qualifications development in the Mediterranean region. Chapter four turns the spotlight directly onto qualifications reform in the region. The chapter explores how (and why) governments and stakeholders in the region are seeking to make their qualifications more legible, more coherent and of better quality. While examples will be drawn from across the region, the chapter pays particular attention to the widely shared policy interest in national qualifications frameworks (NQFs), and to developments in the four countries in the region that are involved in the current ETF NQF project.
