Second Session within the ESRALE course of Lectures on the 04.12.2015 at 14:00 (CET).

Ruud Duvekot describes and analyses international research and literature which focuses on the evolution of Validation of Prior Learning (VPL) in the contexts of a) policy on lifelong learning since the 1970s and b) policy on the concept of the learning society and the challenges it poses for learning systems, social-economic systems, and the nature and role of the citizen. He reflects that over recent decades one of the most intriguing features in lifelong learning policy-making has been a focus on the use of personalised competences, arguing that lifelong learning policies are slowly but surely prioritising these individual learning processes. This presentation provides a map of the policy journey towards the acknowledgement of the social and economic value of ‘personalised lifelong learning’ and the systematics of VPL.
