DESCRIPTION:
However, despite the promises of RPL to enable ‘optimal inclusion’, this ideal is not easily realized in practice. Internationally, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) has become a standard component of education policy reforms aimed at meeting the requirements of a globalized labor market on the one hand, while responding to demands for widening access to further and higher education on the other.
