  4. Leuven communiqué (RPL and LLL) • Successful policies for lifelong learning will include basic principles and procedures for recognition of prior learning on the basis of learning outcomes regardless of whether the knowledge, skills and competences were acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning paths. • The development of national qualifications frameworks is an important step towards the implementation of lifelong learning. Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  5. Leuven (SCHE) • Higher education is being modernized with the adoption of the three-cycle structure including, within national contexts, the possibility of intermediate qualifications linked to the first cycle and with the adoption of the European Standards and Guidelines for quality assurance. • LLL: Within national contexts, intermediate qualifications within the first cycle can be a means of widening access to higher education. Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  6. SCHE and EQF for LLL • SCHE = first level in EHEA (fourlevels / cycles – commonnames) • SCHE = level 5 in the EuropeanQualificationsframework (eightlevels – namesfor 1 till 4?) • SCHE = first level(s) in HE in a National QualificationsFramework – linked to orwithin a Bachelor program(sometimes in a NQF > 8 levels) • SCHE canbe part of a National SectoralQualificationsFramework • Officiallyrecognized - in the Accreditation System Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  7. SCHE in The Netherlands • System after primary education (binary system in HE):- HAVO (5) + Professional Bachelor (4) = 9 years- VWO (6) + Academic Bachelor (3) = 9 years • Associate degree within the Professional Bachelor (‘hogescholen / Universities of Applied Sciences’): 120 ECTS (2 years) if relevant for the labor market • We have in VET and HE:- vmbo + mbo = 7 years- vmbo + mbo + Ad = 9 years- vmbo + mbo + Bachelor = 11 years… Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  8. SCHE and LLL • Pilot status at the moment – next month decision about more possibilities… • ‘Associate degree’ attracts all target groups… • ‘Ad’ new impulse for flexible learning paths !! • But: Academic Drift (Boards) is the biggest enemy… • Example of a scenario in the near future:- Associate degree- Having a job- Work experience / training / projects etc.- Non-formal learning (minor) – accredited by a HEI- RPL for the Bachelor: part time, shortened… Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

SCHE… • May be 80% of VET-students (level 4) will choose for the Ad… - in sectoral frameworks • New situation for our HEIs !! • Transparent procedures for RPL • Attractive for employers and employees • RPL-budget government • Quality Code / RPL-Knowledge centre • But: Are our HEIs flexible enough ?? Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  12. Success factors for SCHE • Use the EQF for LLL • SCHE = level 5 = linked to orwithin the bachelor • SCHE = highest level in ‘strong’ professional education • Use as Colleges and HEIs joint degrees, international • Use the combination of formal and non-formaleducation, national • Useadultlearning – part-timeeducation Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

And… • Focus ontransparency, in a national and international setting • SCHE is the first step in HE (within the firstcycle = the Bachelor) • Post-secondaryeducation + RPL = entrancefor programs in SCHE and the Bachelor • Unique positionfor the SCHE: bridge between VET, secondaryeducation and HE (‘chain management’) Golden Sands - June 16, 2009

  14. IUC: if … then … • IUC- national network for SCHE- make choices • Name national vs name international- HAN: 2 years for prof. bachelor- IUC = SCHE = Associate degree- ‘another project’ • Name: University College- Flanders: HEI / Holland: UAS- World wide: Community College Golden Sands - June 16, 2009
