National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) Qualifications frameworks describe the qualifications of an education and training system and how they interlink. National qualifications frameworks describe what learners should know, understand and be able to do on the basis of a given qualification. These frameworks also show how learners can move from one qualification, or qualification level, to another within a system. Over 150 countries are now developing, or have developed, a national qualifications framework. The Irish NFQ, established in 2003, is a framework through which all learning achievements may be measured and related to each other in a coherent way. Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) has responsibility to develop, promote and maintain the Irish NFQ. To learn more about the Irish NFQ select NFQ – Interactive below. Qualifications Frameworks in Europe and beyond The EHEA now includes the concept of a qualifications framework with an emphasis on learning outcomes.

theconversation In the lead up to the 2014 election, the then opposition leader Tony Abbott pledged that universities would be subject to “masterly inactivity” if the Coalition won the election. He was almost right: universities and their students have now suffered three years of government not making a major change to how higher education is resourced. Higher education needs certainty for the future, with clarity for the coming decade about the balance of government and student investment. The 2016 election is likely to feature two distinct approaches to how to resolve universities’ revenue pressure to deliver the teaching and research expected of them. The Coalition’s approach The Coalition’s policy preference is clear: contain government expenditure over time;use flexible student charges to ensure universities have the needed resources;extend the system to all higher education providers aligning funding and quality regulation systems.
