Credit transfer for permeability

Abstract

"Work has gone on for some time in Germany at national level to promote permeability between educational pathways, but with limited impact. Developments at European level to establish a credit points system across all sectors of education could now support efforts to bring about greater permeability, by enabling credit transfer for prior learning. This article will examine the thrust of this new orientation, the prerequisites that would be necessary for implementation, the current status of developments and the thematic issues that remain to be addressed."
