Te policy, he said, aims to create an open and flexible qualification system that supports lifelong learning through recognition of prior learning and learning transfers, enhances employability, and facilitates both vertical and horizontal mobility of workers across institutions, sectors and countries.

The framework will ensure national, regional and international recognition of qualifications, enable comparability and equivalence of learning outcomes, and establish clear entry and exit pathways between different education systems.
