NVQs

[edit]

Shouldn't the NVQs at level 4 and 5 be included in the appropriate boxes as example quals? If there's no response I'll do it later this week --Kyle Dantarin (talk) 12:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be a table showing how qualification have moved up and down over time. eg in the 1970's an ONC was equal to A levels and was acceptable for university entrance. The HNC with 3rd year supplimentary certificate was equal to an ordinary degree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.238.176 (talk) 23:11, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The HNC was n ever equal to a degree - a lot of nonsense - In the 1970's it was good enough to gain entrance into the first year of an engineering degree and even then many who possessed it did not pass the first year.

An ONC was the entry requirement for many Universities in the 1970's. The HNC was much higher than it is now, much more academic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.166.126.54 (talk) 14:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A General Nodal for NQFs

[edit]

Dear friends,

Shall we make it a General Node for National Qualification Frameworks by enslisting and describing all available NQFs. If agreed let us format this page for general information on NQF, links to NQFs of various nations etc. NQF for each nation may be started as a subpage of this node. Let us also start a In the News section the current major events related to NQFs can be highlighted. This will also help international agencies/institutions in their efforts for Transnational Qualification Framework

Dear friends

This article should be improved. Suggest we make it more general, e. e., about NQFs in general. The way NQF is defined here it seems it only applies or refers to that of England, Namibia and Scotland. Other countries such as New Zealand and South Africa also have their own NQFs. The NQF should be referenced to ILO Recommendation 195 on human resources development: education, training and lifelong learning. And then there shoulod be mention of NQF extensions like the transnational qualifications frameworks such as the EQF and that of the Caribbean TQF (I think there is also a previous article on TQFs, we just have to improve it. There are plenty of material on the NQF in the Web sites of ILO, UNESCO and the Community of Practice run by ILO Bangkok.

Thanks, --Skillsdev (talk) 10:32, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As per the two above suggestions and the tagging on the article itself, I have reorganized the page to begin the process of making this article a more general article about NQFs in different countries. It might eventually become just a disambiguation page, perhaps. Alex McKee (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have also added some NQFs for various countries - Australia, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, Kenya. I encourage others to add more. The UK part should perhaps be split out to a new article shortly. Alex McKee (talk) 20:00, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

South Africa

[edit]

A section about the South African NQF can probably be created from an "extract" of South African Qualifications Authority. I'm not a topic specialist so I don't feel competent to do this alone. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:40, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting off UK content

[edit]

Due to this history of this page, starting off as being a page on the National Qualifications Framework for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it has (as noted in the tag at the top of the page) a lot of content that is, for other qualifications frameworks, contained on separate pages. I propose splitting off some or all of the UK content into a separate page, leaving a summary on this page.

The question arises: how should this best be done? Should it be:

  1. Split to a single "National qualifications frameworks in the United Kingdom" page
  2. Split to a single "National qualifications frameworks in England, Wales and Northern Ireland" page
  3. Split to separate "Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications in the United Kingdom" and "Regulation Qualifications Framework" pages

Option 1 would allow for information on Scotland to be included. There is a separate page for the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), but the Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) is now (since 2014) a single UK-wide document, with unified descriptor at postgraduate level. This would mean putting in summary information on the SCQF on the split page, with a link to the main article, but would allow for discussion of the whole of the FHEQ. Option 2 is the easiest, as it just means splitting of the current EWNI section, but as noted above, this would artificially limit coverage of the UK-wide FHEQ. It would include the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW). Option 3 allows for a UK-wide FHEQ page and a Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) page. But it would lose the connection between the two frameworks, so my feeling is this isn't a great idea. As the RQF only covers England and Northern Ireland, coverage of the CQFW would be limited.

I'm tending towards Option 1, but Option 2 is a close second - what do others think? Robminchin (talk) 00:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
