The Role of Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition in the Development of Healthy Communities

"In times of transition what are our responsibilities to each other and our communities? How can individuals and communities take positive action to generate economic development and create employment opportunities? Rather than throwing ourselves on the mercy of the global marketplace, what can we do to make the economy more democratic and accountable to its citizens? One way of addressing these challenging conditions is by providing greater support for the education, training and career development of those most affected. (1998).
