Grundlagen eines "Gemeinsamen Bezugsrahmens für die Qualitätssicherung" für die berufliche Bildung in Europa

One of the main merits of the Lisbon agenda of 2000 was to put education and vocational education and training (VET) at the center of Europe's economic growth and employment policies. The education and training 2010 work program was adopted in 2002 to bring forward implementation of agreed objectives which, in VET, came under the Copenhagen process. Quality assurance in VET became one of the three main activities to focus on in full parity of esteem with credit transfer in VET and development of a single framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences. This publication gives a short but comprehensive presentation of the work done on quality assurance in VET, thus fulfilling some relevant objectives of the Copenhagen process.--Publisher's description.
