EFA and Recognition, Validation and Certification of Prior Learning

Recognizing, validating and certifying prior learning and experience is vital for achieving Education for All. Proper systems for doing so can play a crucial role in empowering people by encouraging the education of persons who have not received primary education and who are therefore unable to exercise their right to education or become lifelong learners.

The UNESCO Institute for Education has carried out an international survey on prior learning, pursuant to a resolution by the General Conference.

In order to continue and intensify the articulation of this programme with the EFA goals, and taking into account the results of this survey, the French National Commission for UNESCO, the initiator of this project, will be submitting a Draft Resolution at the upcoming 33rd Session of the General Conference proposing amendments to the programme and budget for 2006-2007.

In this context, the UNESCO Institute for Education, in collaboration with the French National Commission for UNESCO, organized a roundtable on 6 October 2005 with representatives from Member States and specialized agencies concerned with establishing international frameworks and mechanisms and implementing policies on recognition of prior learning.

This program is a cooperation of different agencies that met in July 2005 in Paris to discuss the distribution of work and define priority areas particularly in policy, research and advocacy strategy. The interagency group comprises

the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),
the European Union,
the European Training Foundation (ETF),
the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS),
the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA),
the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education (BIBB),
CERAQ, the Conservatoire National des Arts et Mщtiers (CNA),
the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
the Norwegian Ministry of Education
as well as the University of Sorbonne.

Together with these agencies and other networks, UIE will extend and deepen the international survey, taking into account the articulation with EFA and the special needs, demands and reform processes in Member States.
