PATHWAYS STATUS MARKET VALUE CAREER MIGRATION What do they aim at or promise? 1. Transparency (learning outcomes) 2. Comparability (level and equating of awards) 3. Mobility of Learner (transition, permeability) 4. Mobility of Worker (progression, portability) 5. Esteem of TVET (re-valuation of programmes) 6. Trade in Services (GATS mode 4)
What are we at SDC interested in? 1. Is there an easy access point for disadvantaged persons? 2. Are the “ladders” to higher skill levels working? 3. Do TVET-specific qualifications emerge on levels 5+? 4. Are there “bridges” from TVET into HE (and GE) ? 5. Is recognition of informal and experiential learning fair? 6. Are certificates honoured in the labour market?

TVET void on higher levels. 5. Few credits for experiential learning. 6. Jargon and elaborated specifications. 7. Complex design and massive controls. 8. Framework just a chart – not delivering.
