Foreword
Quality in education and training has been given new impetus in the past few
decades. This is mainly due to expansion of the education and training offer
and rising demand for it, which have brought up the issues of transparency and
effectiveness. In addition, over the past 10 years, European Union policies on
education and training – particularly in higher education with the Bologna
process and VET with the Copenhagen process – have raised public
awareness of the importance of quality for modern, relevant, attractive and
permeable learning paths.
A series of EU decisions adopted over the past 20 years have affected
quality in education and training: Council resolution of 5 December 1994 on
the quality and attractiveness of vocational education and training (1), Council
recommendation 98/561/EC of 24 September 1998 on European cooperation
in quality assurance in higher education (2), recommendation of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2001 on European cooperation
in quality evaluation in school education (3), recommendation of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 15 February 2006 on further European
cooperation in quality assurance in higher education (4) and the
recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on
establishment of a European quality assurance reference framework for
vocational education and training (5).
Despite implementation by Member States being voluntary, the above
European political priorities certainly provide a common area and foster
cooperation on quality in education and VET.
In EU-27 with its current 501 million inhabitants, to meet the challenges
linked to implementation, platforms of cooperation where Member States and

education and training stakeholders can meet to exchange experiences, learn
from one another and develop common trust are of the utmost importance.
To develop common trust is a complicated endeavour and presupposes
common understanding.
The present glossary of terms on quality in education and training is meant
to promote communication and understanding.
It is intended for researchers, experts and all those involved in improving the
quality of learning curricula, learning providers and education and training
systems. It does not represent an exhaustive inventory of the terminology used
by specialists.
This glossary is an updated and extended version of Quality in training – La
qualité dans la formation, published by Cedefop in 2003. It considers a series
of important recent policy developments at European level, including setting
up a European qualifications framework for lifelong learning (EQF (6)) and the
development of a European credit system for vocational education and training
(ECVET (7)).
We hope this work will be useful for experts working on quality in education
and training.

Acknowledgements
This publication is the result of a team effort and
reflects the contribution of:
• Philippe Tissot, Cedefopʼs terminologist, who
supervised preparation of the glossary and
• Tina Bertzeletou, Cedefopʼs expert in charge of
quality assurance in VET.
They have cooperated closely to review Cedefopʼs
Glossary on quality in training (Cedefop, 2003)
and enrich it with new terms for those who work in
the field, especially if they are interested in develop -
ments and cooperation at EU level.
This glossary contains key terms beyond the scope
of quality to serve users who need to dispose of
handy definitions in a single publication.
Thanks are due to several Cedefop colleagues and
in particular to Yvonne Noutsia for her technical
support.
