Modernising PHE within a diversified HE

EURASHE > Policy > Modernising PHE within a diversified HE

EURASHE is involved in Modernising Professional Higher Education within a diversified Higher Education through its activities linked to lifelong learning (LLL), mobility, employability amongst others. This area also encompasses the topics of qualifications frameworks, recognition of prior learning (RPL), short-cycle higher education (SCHE), learning outcomes (LO).

Underneath are further information on our activities in the area:

EURASHE’s work under the umbrella theme of ‘modernising professional higher education’ specifically addresses the topics of employability and lifelong learning. But EURASHE also addresses issues such as internationalisation, qualifications frameworks, student-centred learning etc.

The employability of graduates has from the outset of the Bologna Reform process been considered as a cornerstone in developing of higher education. The concern is to make higher education responsive to developing societies and rapidly changing demands from the world of employment. This calls for flexibility and innovation in the contents as well as in the structure of education. The vision for 2020 is a Europe where governments, employers and HE institutions have increased their partnerships in order to create jobs for the graduates and graduates for the jobs. HEIs must make it possible for students to maintain relations with the labour market through programme structures based on linked and flexible cycles; employers must allow and encourage their employees to go back to HEIs for relevant supplementary study periods; and governments must ensure that the proper support mechanisms are in place. When dealing with employability, however, employers and HEIs should also take into account the long term horizon of graduates’ careers, as an entrepreneur or a employee.

Lifelong learning (LLL) as a leading principle for the development of the EHEA is strongly supported and advocated by EURASHE. LLL contributes to extending knowledge and skills and to creating new skills and transversal competences. For individuals, LLL is a major source to be flexible towards professional changes or personal development and growth. We urge governments to ensure adequate investment and legal support for LLL as one of the most liberating tools of equitable society as one of the strongest movers towards economic growth.
