Quality assurance and transparency as interface between Vocational Education and Training, Schools and Higher Education

Various initiatives and policy instruments have been developed in recent years for quality, transparency and recognition of qualifications, under both the Copenhagen Process and the Bologna Process. Nonetheless, a better coordinated and more coherent approach should be developed if it is to create a European Education and VET Area.

Recognising the importance of qualifications in a more consistent manner may lead to greater transparency and the perspective mobility in quality assurance of the lifelong and life wide learning.
