Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The UNESCO Guidelines for the Recognition, Validation and Accreditation of the Outcomes of Non-formal and Informal Learning recognize the need for "the learning outcomes that young people and adults acquire in the course of their life in non-formal and informal settings … to be made visible, assessed and accredited" (p. 5). The experiences and qualifications accumulated at different stages from participation in non-formal and informal adult learning and education should be recognized, validated and accredited. States should, in accordance with national qualifications frameworks, allow for "continuing education and access to the labour market, without facing discrimination barriers".
