Following the European Commission's request at the informal ministerial meeting in London last July for support in the development of a European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Employment was invited to organise a national consultation which was scheduled last week on the EQF.

The objective of the planned EQF is to create a European framework which enabled qualifications systems at the national and sectoral levels to relate to each other. This reference structure will be used on a voluntary basis and will facilitate the transfer and recognition of qualifications held by individual citizens.

The Minister of Education invited experts and stakeholders most directly concerned with the development and implementation of the EQF at the European, national and sectoral levels to give their views on what the aims, structure, and content of the EQF should be.
