Explanation of the quality indicator "Validation & recognition of learning and certification"
The core idea of the recognition of prior learning and certifications is to make full use of the scope of learning and experience persons have gained throughout their lives, no matter where, when and how their learning took place. Prior learning is understood as an umbrella term for any kind of learning within various settings (formal, non-formal and informal). The validation of prior learning has become an important topic as it can facilitate social cohesion, equality and inclusion in education, and greater flexibility in the labour market.
One issue is to differentiate between official validation, which is a state-wide or EU-wide legal question, and validation by educational institutions. For the cause of this project, the focus should be on validation that can be done through educational organisations. Validation of refugees’ learning is needed so that they can access appropriate training and the labour market.
