Transversal Competencies and their Assessment: Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it

In today’s world, there is a growing sense that the real purpose of education is not only to produce learners who are literate and numerate. Instead, the complex times in which we live make additional, more crucial demands on our education systems: that they facilitate the holistic development of our young people such that they are creative, resourceful, self-disciplined, adept at collaborating with others, appreciative of diversity, able to resolve conflicts and contribute peacefully to democratic societies.

Higher Education and the Race to find a Core Competency

Higher Education and the Race to find a Core Competency | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Higher education has been notoriously slow to change. Even now, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced institutions to accelerate progress, they largely did so within the confines of the traditional educational system. In order to truly build out modern learning, we need to ditch the molds of the past.

Luxembourg. Courage or audacity? - Modularisation and competence-orientation as key objectives of initial vocational education reform in Luxembourg

Luxembourg. Courage or audacity? - Modularisation and competence-orientation as key objectives of initial vocational education reform in Luxembourg | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

The law of 19 December 2008 implementing vocational education reform comprehensively modernises Luxembourg's system of initial and continuing vocational education and training. The main points of the reform consist of the reorientation of initial vocational education (IVET) towards a modular and competence-oriented structure. This article focuses on the two central concepts of this reform: modularisation and competence-orientation. Apart from clarifying how their meaning should be understood, the article explains how the concepts have been translated into the regulatory bases so far.

Higher Education Is Overrated; Skills Aren't

Higher Education Is Overrated; Skills Aren't | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it

The grievously undervalued human capital issue here isn't quality education in school but quality of skills in markets. http://blogs.hbr.org/schrage/2010/07/higher-education-is-highly-ove.html
