This book deals with the relevance of recognition and validation of
non-formal and informal learning education and training, the
workplace and society. In an increasing number of countries, it is
at the top of the policy and research agenda ranking among the
possible ways to redress the glaring lack of relevant academic and
vocational qualifications and to promote the development of
competences and certification procedures which recognise different
types of learning, including formal, non-formal and informal
learning. The aim of the book is therefore to present and share
experience, expertise and lessons in such a way that enables its
effective and immediate use across the full spectrum of country
contexts, whether in the developing or developed world. It examines
the importance of meeting institutional and political requirements
that give genuine value to the recognition of non-formal and
informal learning; it shows why recognition is important and
clarifies its usefulness and the role it serves in education,
working life and voluntary work; it emphasises the importance of
the coordination, interests, motivations, trust and acceptance by
all stakeholders. The volume is also premised on an understanding
of a learning society, in which all social and cultural groups,
irrespective of gender, race, social class, ethnicity, mental
health difficulties are entitled to quality learning throughout
their lives. Overall the thrust is to see the importance of
recognising non-formal and informal learning as part of the larger
movement for re-directing education and training for change. This
change is one that builds on an equitable society and economy and
on sustainable development principles and values such as respect
for others, respect for difference and diversity, exploration and
dialogue.
