The document discusses quality assurance in vocational education and training (VET) systems in Europe. It outlines the EQAVET framework, which includes a quality cycle and 10 indicators to help define and monitor quality in VET. The framework provides quality criteria and descriptors at both the system and provider levels to help member states develop quality assurance processes and ensure VET programs meet goals like employability, matching skills with labor market needs, and access for vulnerable groups.

- Knowledge based society 50% of all new jobs are created in knowledge based sectors Need for more skilled work force importance of education importance of diplomas/certifications/titles I have looked for demographic trends using the scenarios prepared by Eurostat for the year 2060. By that time, the median age of the EU-27 population will rise from 40.4 years to 47.9 and the share of people aged 65 or more will increase from 17.1% to 30.0%. This means that whereas in 2008 there were 4 persons of working age (15-64 years old) for every person aged 65 years or over; in 2060 the ratio will be 2 to 1. How to facilitate mutual recognitions of diplomas?
- Qualifications frameworks create a continuum of learning expectations along which qualifications might be compared to each other, facilitating credit transfer, credential recognition, and lifelong learning. The assumption underpinning this framework is that, as one moves up the credential ladder, the level of challenge associated with each dimension intensifies. Establishing a multi-jurisdictional framework upon which national qualifications frameworks can be mapped requires a coherent and commonly understood method for describing credentials and expected learning outcomes. Our today’s Europe Importance of mobility and flexibility Studies have shown the positive impact of a training period done abroad, notably on the employability of a person How to get the best of training periods abroad?
- ECVET is a technical framework for the transfer, recognition and, where appropriate, accumulation of individuals’ learning outcomes with a view to achieving a qualification. ECVET tools and methodology comprise the description of qualifications in terms of units of learning outcomes with associated points, a transfer and accumulation process and complementary documents such as learning agreements, transcripts of records and ECVET users’ guides. [see ECVET recommendation of 18 June 2009 in Official Journal of the European Union of 8 July 2009, C 155, p.11] Transparent quality assurance principles, exchange of information and development of partnerships between institutions competent for qualifications, VET providers and other relevant stakeholders should help to build mutual trust and should facilitate the implementation of this Recommendation. Need for mutual trust in some quality assurance EQAVET
- Support the transformation of VET systems towards policy objectives in line with the current emphasis on three key concepts: certification, transparency and flexibility EQF recommendation and ECVET recommendation refer both to quality assurance principles Historic perspective: Quality in Education and Training recent concept (middle of 20th century) The usage of the term ‘quality’ in the discourse of education became significant from the 1950s, and more visibly from the 1960s onwards. The same period also saw the rise of the human capital theory in economics (T.W. Schulz, 1960) Quality of Human Capital is important Thus investment in education is important Education also an important ingredient of well being as it can reduce poverty and enhance social mobility Theory of scientific management informed the discussion of quality in education from the 1970s onwards Study from OECD Quality of human capital today is crucial for Europe’s success Facilitate recovery from the crisis Help to meet Skills needs .
- Rather than fruitlessly wrestling with a definition, we would be better off simply identifying what we want the world of VET to look like

- The European Quality Assurance Reference Framework is a reference instrument, in order to help Member States to promote and monitor continuous improvement of their Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems based on common European references.
- The framework proposes a quality assurance and improvement cycle (planning, implementation, evaluation/assessment, review or revision). It includes ways of monitoring the performance of a particular system and uses measurement to support review and improvement of both entire systems and individual training institutions (common quality criteria, indicative descriptors and indicators). Reference: Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the establishment of a European Quality Assurance Reference Framework for Vocational Education and Training [OJ, C155, 8 July 2009, p.1]
- Indicative Non exhaustive Not targeted at final users even though quite concrete at first view To be adapted depending on the country, the systems, the providers
- The Quality Framework should be regarded rather as a "toolbox", from which the various users may choose those descriptors and indicators they consider most relevant to the requirements of their particular quality assurance system. The proposed descriptors (Annex 1) and indicators (Annex 2) are provided for guidance only and may be selected and applied by users of the Quality Assurance Reference Framework in accordance with all or part of their requirements and existing settings. They are to be used on a purely voluntary basis,[…]. They should be considered neither as benchmarks, nor as a means of reporting on, or drawing comparisons between, the quality and efficiency of different national systems. The responsibility for monitoring the quality of these systems remains entirely with the Member States.
- The process will take time but it is worth it. Thank you
