    Classifying Educational Programmes

    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

Secondary vocational education is usually low prestige, underfunded, and inadequately linked to the labor

The fellows used two different types of universities for their research. A mid-sized private university (Institution A) and a large public university (Institution B). They served as non-voting participants and were assigned two IESC mentors to guide them through a research project. They attended bi-weekly teleconferences as well as occasional in-person meetings and completed their term at the conclusion of the AACRAO Annual Meeting in April 2019. Upon the start of their term, the IESC decided to focus their research on 13-year education systems and the need to determine how and when to award advanced credit for these types of systems. The elementary/secondary education system in the United States is a 12-year based model.

    Guide to Scottish Qualifications

    Guide to Scottish Qualifications Fo und at ion A p p re n t ic e s h alaureates i acc p B s ish tt co S HNC NPA SVQ IWPS PDA CWR NQ HND SfW Awards s ip sh e tic en ppr Modern A “SQA is proud to be at the heart of the education and skills system in Scotland and is committed to helping young people realise their potential and to achieve their ambitions.” Dr Janet Brown, Chief Executive of SQA 2 Scottish Qualifications explained SQA qualifications are designed and structured to support people on their individual learning journeys, and give Scottish businesses a competitive advantage by enhancing the quality of the workforce. At first sight, the Scottish qualifications system might seem complex, but it is really very straightforward. Qualifications sit at various levels allowing the learner to make strides from one qualification to the next, or to change paths at an equivalent level, which gives everyone the opportunity to achieve their full and true potential. SQA has a wide range of robust, relevant and respected qualifications which are designed in partnership with industry experts to ensure learners gain the skills and experience needed in the workplace. Find out more at www.sqa.org.uk 3 SCQF The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) helps to make the relationships between qualifications clearer. It covers achievements such as those from school, college, university, and many work-based qualifications. Qualifications in the SCQF are compared using two measures: level and credit. The level of a qualification shows how difficult the learning is, and the amount of credit shows the size of the qualification.

Part-time HE 35 VIII. Widening Access 39 IX. Performance in HE 42 X. Issues 46 References 53 Foreword The fieldwork for the present study was conducted in 1988 and 1989. At that time the National Council for Vocational Qualifications had only just been established and it was beginning to put in place its framework of NVQs. It was also having to negotiate its somewhat delicate relationship with bodies like the Business and Technician Education Council whose awards it would eventually accredit. Kenneth Baker had yet to make his famous ‘Cinderella speech’ (to the Association of Colleges of Further and Higher Education in February 1989) in which he promised that "Poor old FE, ‘Cinderella of the education service’ (would go) to the ball”. The government in its 1987 White Paper had expressed a wish to see higher education take positive steps to increase admissions through vocational qualifications like BTEC awards. But little was known about what vocational qualifications could mean in terms of progress to HE. The National Council for Vocational Qualifications recognising this gap commissioned the Education and Employment team in the School of Education, University of Manchester to map the vocational route. Since 1989 the scene has changed rapidly. It is now widely recognised that the English education system essentially provides for only a minority of young people. Both main political parties are seeking to staunch the loss of talent by giving greater prominence to vocational qualifications.
