Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 62
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur considers that it is important for each country to develop a national framework of certification, recognizing and validating various modes of the acquisition of skills in a coherent and unified system. The recognition of prior learning, as expressed in ILO Recommendation No. 195, can help to bridge the divide between formal and informal technical and vocational skills development systems by providing mechanisms and opportunities for the recognition and validation of experiential learning. It is also necessary to ensure that the assessment mechanisms for TVET are founded on competence-based training, not only on theory-based certification.
