The project titled
“International Cooperation
for VET Providers”,
underpins
two EQAVET EACEA 46/2015 Priorities:
- Complementing the current EQAVET
Framework in order to ensure continued relevance to the needs of the policy
context by developing an EQAVET+ Framework;
- Deepening the culture of quality
assurance in VET- the importance of feedback loops and the review phase of the
quality cycle,
The project proposes
three seminars for VET providers in Malta in order to enhance the
development of Internal Quality
Assurance
leading to a more
widespread adoption of Internal
Quality Assurance
policies
among VET providers.
It addresses the challenges of developing self-evaluation processes, procedures
and criteria as part of an overall culture of reflection, analysis and action
throughout provision and within the review phase of the quality cycle. This
acknowledges the fact that feedback and review are part of a continuous process
and culture, as well as having a distinct formal phase within the quality
cycle.
In addition, the
seminars
are expected to add
value to national practice by strengthening the importance of Internal Quality
Assurance within the
National Quality Assurance Framework. The seminars will
contribute to the raising of overall quality and status of VET in the context
of the Copenhagen process, and directly addresses the second priority area for
2015-2020 to: further develop quality assurance mechanisms in VET in line with
the European quality assurance in VET recommendation, and as part of quality
assurance systems, establish continuous information and feedback loops in
initial VET and continuing VET systems based on learning outcomes.
The project is being co-financeed by Erasmus+ Programme and is expected to be concluded by the
end of March 2017. For additional information kindly send an email on qa.ncfhe@gov.mt.
