This report focuses on developing policies to promote the uptake of OER in further education (FE) and vocational training (VET) – ISCED level 4 – across the EU. Whilst further education “colleges” are a familiar sector in the educational landscape of the four UK home nations, they do not exist in the same form in almost all other EU countries and there are currently substantial differences in vocational training structures and standards between many EU countries. It therefore seems appropriate to focus on internationally accepted standards and avoid potential confusion arising from the variety of systems and structures.

Note that this deliverable is in fact a “sub-deliverable” of the overall Deliverable 4.2. This means that iteration of drafts and concordances between the sub-deliverables will be required, first to leverage good ideas from some into the others, and secondly to deal with edge effects.
