​The Committee of the Regions (CoR) at its plenary session this week agreed Marek Olszewski's opinion on 'informal and non-formal learning".  The opinion argues that validation procedures for skills acquired outside the official education system are part of much needed changes to the European model for vocational education and training. The recognition of these skills can help creating more flexible education systems, in turn leading to greater mobility amongst the labour force and enhanced employability. Quality assurance and common standards for these validation procedures should therefore be ensured EU wide. These are the key messages of an own-initiative opinion led by Marek Olszewski (PL/EA), Mayor of Lubicz, which was adopted today by CoR members meeting in plenary session.
