Shaikh Mohammad approves Qualification Framework
The QFEmirates was launched in line with the UAE Vision 2021
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has approved a resolution regarding the Qualification Framework for Emirates (QFEmirates) as the first-of-its-kind national criteria to classify academic qualifications in the three education sectors: general education, higher education, and technical, vocational and professional education and training.
The QFEmirates was launched in line with the UAE Vision 2021 for building an economy based on knowledge and innovation, and run by highly educated and qualified citizens.
The Framework will classify 10 levels, starting from level 1 up to the doctoral degree.
The QFEmirates is a facilitative tool that aims to promote the concept of life-long learning as the means to enable individuals to plan and access learning in order to fulfil their potential and contribute to the future growth and prosperity of the UAE.
The QFEmirates is an integrated system, enabling all qualifications to be described and compared, recognising achievement in learning from the most elementary task to the most complex, using recognised and agreed common titles.
It includes formal structured learning, achieved typically in schools, colleges, universities and training centres, and informal and non-formal (both structured and unstructured) learning achieved typically in the workplace or community. As a single, integrated system, the QFEmirates can be used by the countrys decision-makers to develop strategic education and training policies to improve the countrys economic, social and personal effectiveness and standing in the world.
The National Qualifications Authority (NQA) is tasked with the responsibility of publicising the system among federal and local education departments and training and qualification regulators and providers in order to be able to start a pilot phase after publishing the resolution in the official gazette. The NQA is also mandated to issue regulations and introduce any mechanisms necessary for implementing the system within five years.
