Dear Colleagues,

 

Greetings from Bangkok and I hope you are safe and well.

 

Today, I am pleased to present a new publication from our higher education team: Guidelines on Implementing Qualifications Frameworks in Asia and the Pacific at Subject Level. With generous support from the Republic of Korea Funds-in-Trust, the Guidelines capture an important way forward to accelerate implementation of qualifications frameworks and quality assurance at subject level.

 

Many of you are listed in our Acknowledgements as contributors to our ongoing work – thank you! In early September, we are planning a virtual launch and regional consultation. Your ideas are most welcome as we prepare. Stay tuned for details! When ready, we will also mail copies of the book to all FO’s and NatComs in Asia-Pacific. If you would like additional print copies, please email us anytime at eisd.bgk@unesco.org.

 

Below, please find a list of relevant resources to share further. We look forward to working on national and regional level capacity building.

 

Thank you for your strong support!

 

Libing
