Qualifications frameworks are tools for describing qualifications of an education or training system by classifying them into levels. Each level provides a clear description of what the holder of a qualification knows, understands and is able to do. They are important tools for making qualifications transparent and comprehensible, within and across borders, and for promoting lifelong learning. This fifth edition of the Global Inventory of National and Regional Qualifications Frameworks consists of two volumes with up-to-date information on recent developments in this field destined for policy-makers, educators, researchers, and experts. The publication is the result of collaborative work between UNESCO, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) and the European Training Foundation (ETF).
Volume I continues the role set by previous editions, presenting insights and knowledge from different contexts where regional and national qualifications frameworks are in place across the world. Drawing on the findings from the analysis of 93 national qualifications frameworks, the volume features a series of thematic chapters that identify emerging issues in qualifications systems, including the digitalization of qualifications systems, the validation of informal and non-formal learning and the increased use of microcredentials. it serves as an observatory, shedding light on advancements and identifying areas that need improvement in line with emerging trends and policy priorities. Volume II [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 154.603] comprises 79 national qualifications framework country chapters, from all continents, and four regional qualifications frameworks. A cross-country analysis of national case studies is presented, examining the objectives, functions and characteristics of national qualifications frameworks and their contributions to wider educational and training systems.
