Order of the Minister of National Education of 13 July 2016<\/strong> appointing members of the Stakeholder Council of the Integrated Qualifications System. Order of the Minister of National Education of 8 February 2017<\/strong> amending the Order appointing members of the Stakeholder Council. The European Qualifications Framework is intended to make it easier to compare qualifications obtained at different times, in different places and through different forms of learning, to improve the alignment of qualifications with labour market needs and, as a result, to increase worker mobility and promote and facilitate lifelong learning. The publication of this Recommendation provided a strong impetus for work on qualifications systems in many countries, including Poland. The Recommendation proposes that systems for the validation of non-formal and informal learning should be established by 2018 in all countries that commit to implementing it.
