Recognition of non-formal and informal learning is becoming a top priority on the policy agenda in many OECD countries. In 1996, the OECD education ministers agreed to develop strategies for “lifelong learning for all”. The approach has been endorsed by ministers of Work, ministers of social affairs and the OECD Council at the ministerial level. It is an approach whose importance may now be clearer than ever. Learning is a continuous process that takes place throughout life and in many settings. The concept of “from cradle to grave” includes formal, non-formal and informal learning. If learning is only recognised as the outcome of formal teaching, most of what is learnt then is not recognised. From a policy point of view, when developing learning for economic and social benefits, this wider recognition of learning is clearly more effective. From the point of view of an individual, learning for its own sake may be sufficient for some but, for others, recognition of learning outcomes may need to be incorporated into formal qualifications. The outcome of the process of recognition of non-formal and informal learning may bring benefits to the individual and to society.
