This independent, external study supports the European Commission in the evaluation of Council Recommendation of 22 May 2017 on the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (2017 EQF Recommendation). It includes an assessment of effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value, as well as assessing the actions and progress made by the main actors targeted by the Recommendation, and gathering feedback from a broad range of stakeholders. The study covers the period from 1 June 2017 to 1 June 2022, and focuses on the provisions of the revised 2017 EQF Recommendation.
The study covers all 38 countries involved in the EQF process1, including 27 EU Member States (MS); the four EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland); five candidate countries (Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Türkiye); and potential candidates (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo2). The study also considers the United Kingdom during the period until the entry into force of the Withdrawal Agreement (1 February 2020). In addition, the study considers how the EQF has contributed to the better permeability of qualifications between EQF countries and non-EQF third countries (countries not participating in the EQF).
