Opening Ceremony of the Officials Meeting on the Transnational Qualifications Framework, VUSSC

Abstract

Many governments are struggling to respond to increased demand, knowing that their Age Participation Rates in higher education are well below what is needed for sustained national development. APRs are now between 40-50% in OECD countries but remain below 5% in some developing countries. We believe VUSSC can help governments of small states to strengthen their national institutions to increase APR rates.
