EQF implementation: impact of national qualifications systems’ processes
The main result of the European project EQF-PROQS is the identification of the effects of national educational traditions on the comparability of vocational qualifications in the implementation of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and the corresponding national (NQF) and sectoral (SQF) frameworks.
In seven European countries (Germany, England, France, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Austria), using the example of the three sectors construction, hospitality and metal, the influences of regulatory work, of in-company and school-based VET practice and of the examination system on the structural and content-related comparability of qualifications were examined and described in ideal-type models. Furthermore, the consequences to be derived from this for each of the three spheres of influence were drawn up in the form of recommendations for action, taking into account possible challenges and incompatibilities.
