STEP 1: Why is it important?
Main Goals:
- The core idea of the recognition of prior learning (RPL) and of prior certification is to make full use of the scope of learning and experience that a person has gained throughout his or her life, no matter where, when and how the learning took place
- The validation of prior learning has become an important topic as the means of facilitating equality and inclusion in education, integration, a more flexible labor market and social cohesion. It is important to look at the process or procedures of validation and how it is done
- The target group’s prior learning experiences might range from not being alphabetized to having respective work experience to having attended a higher school. This makes even small groups of refugees extremely heterogeneous and makes it important to determine, validate and acknowledge existing competences.
