EC launched new site to deliver more clarity on qualifications in different member states

At present now only the data of France, Ireland, Malta & the UK are comparable but it will be very interesting for the future. Trend in comparability is focus on vocational & higher education, less in the fundamental level of education (1 and 2). More in depth information is also available by Euridyce.

The European Commission has launched a website that will give experts a better insight into how qualifications in different countries compare with each other. The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) portal is part of an EU initiative to make national qualifications more transparent across Europe, promoting workers' and learners' mobility between countries and encouraging lifelong learning.

The European Qualifications Framework is currently being rolled out across Europe as countries relate their national qualifications systems to the eight-level European framework. Currently in English, the portal will gradually be made available in 27 languages by next year. A search function that will provide access to national databases with information on qualifications is also planned.
