State of play of the European Qualifications Framework implementation

The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is an instrument aimed at promoting workers’ and learners’ mobility and lifelong learning through referencing national qualifications systems. Analysing the relevance, implementation and first outcomes, the implementation of the EQF would appear to have been successful, though some serious issues remain to be resolved. There are compelling reasons for continuing with EQF implementation, provided that the right conditions are met.
