National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs)

National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) are structured systems that organize and classify educational and training achievements within a country. They set clear standards for what individuals know and can do at different levels, such as high school, college, or vocational training. This helps to ensure consistency, quality, and transparency across education and skills development. NQFs also make it easier for employers, students, and institutions to understand and compare qualifications, facilitating lifelong learning and mobility between education systems and the workforce. In essence, they serve as a map that guides personal and professional growth through recognized standards.
