The fourth edition of the Global Inventory of Regional and National Qualifications Frameworks gathers knowledge and insights from a range of contexts in which regional and national qualifications frameworks operate. In continuing this observatory function, the inventory highlights progress and areas for improvement in the context of emerging trends and policy priorities.

Volume I focuses on the degree to which three core areas are dominating the direction of reforming policies; digitization, recognition of prior learning, and outcomes-based approaches to managing education and training.
