CINOP has developed a widely applicable tool to measure and improve the inclusivity of education in TVET institutes around the world. The FlexScan has been developed in the context of the Learning Outcomes experiments. Through these experiments, the aim is to investigate how education can become more flexible.

The assumption is that making education more flexible for a more diversified target audience, particularly those who are employed, will lead to increased participation of working individuals in education and the issuance of more diplomas or formal recognition of their learning. This is necessary to achieve the government’s goal of (re-)educating a larger portion of the workforce at a higher level. A better offer in flexible part-time education should make it possible to develop more customized learning experiences, aligning with the student’s prior education, work experience, workplace and interests.
