Qualifications Frameworks in Canada
A qualifications framework is a tool that
- describes the main purposes and learning expectations for each qualification in a particular education system, and the relationship between the different qualifications;
- provides the continuum of learning expectations along which any new qualifications can be placed in that education system;
- provides a context for policies on credit transfer and qualification recognition that facilitate lifelong learning;
- assists in comparing one's own standards with those in other education systems, whether for purposes of study elsewhere or the export of programs to other jurisdictions.
