Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 79
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur also notes that recognition of prior learning is an important element in national qualifications frameworks. This has been recognized as a right in some countries. In France for example, the Social Modernization Act of 2002 makes access to validation of knowledge gained through experience a right for every person having at least three years of experience. In Norway, adults are entitled, by law, to primary and lower secondary education and to validation of their prior learning.
