ABSTRACT

This study reviews comparatively the national qualification frameworks(NQFs) of Germany, France, England and Australia and suggests policy implications for Korea as follows. First, NQF of Korea should be introduced as a part of integrative skills strategies. Second, the public support to establish the participative governance of qualification frameworks should be strengthened. Third, it is a realistic measure to introduce a bridging framework of NQF where NQF takes the coordination and integrating roles. Fourth, unit-based approach as of organizing framework may increase the bureaucratic burdens, it is desirable to be based on full-qualification principle and enhance flexibility through adjusting qualification requisites, using modules and partial qualification of industrial sectors like France, Fifth, it is normal international practice for the management of the NQF to be assigned to an apex body. Sixth, we need to consider institutional complementarity to design the NQF of Korea. Finally, in the state-led system of Korea the strategic choice of government will be the cornerstone to break through the institutional difficulties.
