Eurydice European Unit Avenue Louise 240 B-1050 Brussels Tel. +32 2 600 53 53 Fax + 32 2 600 53 63 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http://www.eurydice.org Printed in Belgium PREFACE Every education system uses its own specifi c terminology to describe the characteristics of its organisation and operation. In trying to understand and compare how the various education systems in Europe really work, we are confronted with questions of terminology. The development of precise ‘markers’ for reference purposes is thus absolutely essential for better mutual understanding and quality cooperation between European countries. In order to cater for this need, the Eurydice Network has established a publications series entitled the European Glossary on Education. Four volumes on diff erent subjects have been published since 1999. The fi rst volume dealt with ‘examinations, qualifi cations and titles’, while the second was devoted to ‘educational institutions’ (2000), the third to ‘teaching staff ’ (2002) and the most recent to ‘management, monitoring and support staff ’ (2003). The four volumes also constitute a ‘dynamic’ database that may be accessed on the Eurydice website (http://www.eurydice.org). Terminology associated with examinations, qualifi cations and titles is changing rapidly in an enlarged Europe in which student and teacher mobility as well as the opening up of education and training systems to the wider world are essential aims of cooperation. It is for this reason that the Eurydice Network has decided to update the fi rst volume of the Glossary published in 1999. In contrast to the previous edition that covered 24 countries (the 15 Member States of the European Union, the EFTA/EEA countries and the fi rst six countries of central and eastern Europe which took part in the activities of the Network), the present glossary now also includes the Baltic countries, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta. The book provides detailed coverage of the terminology used at national level to refer to the examinations, qualifi cations and titles specifi c to each education system. Each term in the original language is accompanied by a structured summary description providing for ready understanding and comparison of information that is becoming increasingly essential for experts and researchers, as well as for those responsible for or involved in mobility in Europe, translators, and many other people active in the world of education. A guide to use of the Glossary is included by way of introduction. It contains all relevant defi nitions and outlines the diff erent aspects covered in the explanatory note on each term. The Eurydice European Unit is very grateful to all National Units in the Eurydice Network for their invaluable contribution to the content of this publication, not to mention its quality and reliability, as well as the national representatives of the NARIC Network (National Academic Recognition Information Centres), who were consulted about the tertiary education terms. By making this second edition of the fi rst volume of the Glossary available to all who attempt to compare or understand more about the examinations, qualifi cations and titles associated with European education systems, the Eurydice Network hopes to make a further contribution to the greater transparency of those systems, which is itself essential for more ambitious cooperation. The European Unit remains entirely responsible for the presentation and drafting of this book.

It covers almost 1000 specifi c terms of this kind. The aim is to off er readers the defi nitions of frequently used terms that they might encounter when reading about or dealing with the education system of any given country. Only offi cial or widely used and recognised names specifi c to each education system are included. The qualifi cations considered are those off ered by or in partnership with educational institutions. Qualifi cations awarded to persons with special educational needs, as well as offi cial qualifi cations obtained in adult education programmes are also included. Standard tests held in primary and secondary education to guide or select pupils or to monitor the education system are included if they have an offi cial title or name, or are widely used and recognised. Qualifi cations awarded to foreign students who have completed part of their course in a foreign institution (such as certifi cates awarded to students who have taken part in the Socrates/Erasmus programme) are not included. The present Glossary is neither a dictionary nor a directory of professional titles used in the world of work. Qualifi cations and titles corresponding to names of professions, such as ‘teacher’ or ‘pharmacist’ have been avoided as far as possible. Only qualifi cations and academic titles in their own right have been included. *** In order to provide easy access for a wide range of readers, the terms relating to examinations, qualifi cations and titles are presented in two sections. In the fi rst section, the reader will fi nd all the terms for all countries

  • Secondary Education) (Nqf Level 8
    BACHELOR OF EDUCATION HONOURS (SECONDARY EDUCATION) (NQF LEVEL 8) PURPOSE OF THE QUALIFICATION The main purpose of Bachelor of Education in secondary Education honours qualification is to produce professionally qualified teachers who are able to apply a combination of subject matter knowledge with the relevant pedagogical approaches to ensure improved learning outcomes under various contexts. The qualification will contribute to the national efforts for the production of innovative and competent Secondary school teachers who would make lasting impressions in the lives of learners. The qualification will also equip teachers with the necessary teaching skills, competencies, and strategies to be effective secondary school teachers, academic manager and administrators. Namibia’s Occupational Demand and Supply Outlook Model (NODSOM) of 2012 and other reports issued by the Ministry of Education highlight the shortage of professionally qualified teachers at all levels of the education system in Namibia. The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours has been developed in response to the high demand for appropriately qualified teachers in Namibia. The rationale for the development of this qualification was motivated by the need to meet the above mentioned challenge because the targets cannot be achieved without the necessary inputs from qualified teachers who are able to implement the national curriculum and assessments. OUTCOMES FOR THE WHOLE QUALIFICATION Holders of this qualification are able to: • Teach secondary school subjects of their respective

  • The Emergence of Selective Admission Policies in Dutch Higher Education - a Case Study on Amsterdam University College
    Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.15.10 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ EXCELLENCE AND DIVERSITY: The Emergence of Selective Admission Policies in Dutch Higher Education - A Case Study on Amsterdam University College October 2010 Christoffel Reumer & Marijk van der Wende1 Amsterdam University College and VU University Amsterdam Copyright 2010 Christoffel Reumer and Marijk van der Wende, all rights reserved. ABSTRACT This paper explores the emergence of selective admission policies in Dutch university education. Such policies are being developed to promote excellence in a higher education system that is generally known to be “egalitarian” and increasingly criticized for a lack of differentiation. The changing policy context of admission in Dutch university education and its driving forces and rationales are discussed in the context of European-wide developments such as the Bologna Process. Especially the emergence of selective liberal arts colleges will be presented as a recent excellence initiative. A review of international trends, methods and criteria in selective admission (notably from systems with extensive experience in this field such as the USA), including historical pitfalls, provides an analytical framework for the discussion of the fostering of excellence in combination with the aim for diversity in the student population. The predictive value of selection methods and criteria used at Amsterdam University College (AUC) are evaluated against the study progress and performance of AUC students. This includes academic criteria such as GPA in secondary school, and AUC’s use of interviews. Examining data from AUC’s first entering class in 2009, the college has achieved enrolling students from different national and socioeconomic backgrounds.
