Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 78
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes the initiatives being taken in some African countries to establish national qualifications frameworks. The national qualifications framework in South Africa provides a mechanism for awarding qualifications on the basis of the achievement of specified learning outcomes prescribed by industry. It allows for the accumulation of credits and recognition of prior learning, which fosters lifelong learning. The national vocational qualifications framework in Nigeria furnishes another example in addressing the assessment of vocational qualifications. Certification of skills relevant to the labour market acquired through technical and vocational education and training is indeed important in the process of lifelong learning.
