FOREWORD
 The last CONFINTEA VI Follow-up Meeting will take place in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from 30 June to 1 July 2016. It will bring Ministers of Education together with adult learning and education (ALE) experts from the Caribbean sub-region to assess ALE policy and programme development, focusing on progress made in implementing the Belém Framework for Action (BFA). At the meeting, participants will devise a sub-regional action plan that will identify priority activities in the Caribbean to support further implementation of the BFA. The CONFINTEA VI Mid-Term Review, which is scheduled to take place in 2017, will evaluate the outcomes of these actions and examine the key findings emerging from the national reports submitted by UNESCO Member States for the third Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE III). GRALE III is scheduled for publication in autumn 2016. The new UNESCO Recommendation on Adult Learning and Education was signed recently. Together with the BFA it will help to articulate literacy and ALE priorities across the globe and position them within the Education 2030 Framework for Action.
Against this background, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning will continue to support Member States in updating ALE policies and delivering effective programmes. ALE has a crucial role to play in enhancing people’s health and wellbeing, supporting social and civic development, and improving employability. Insights emerging from GRALE III and the CONFINTEA VI Mid-term Review will enable UNESCO Member States to develop a more comprehensive vision of ALE and emphasize its value for individuals, economies and societies.

Avant-propos
La dernière réunion de suivi de la CONFINTEA VI se tiendra à Montego Bay, en Jamaïque, les 30 juin et 1er juillet 2016. Elle rassemblera des ministres de l’éducation et des spécialistes de l’apprentissage et éducation des adultes de la sous-région des Caraïbes, qui procèderont à l’évaluation des développements intervenus dans les politiques et programmes en la matière, et se concentreront sur les progrès accomplis dans la mise en œuvre du Cadre d’action de Belém (BFA). Lors de la réunion, les participants élaboreront un plan d’action sous régional afin de déterminer les activités prioritaires à mener aux Caraïbes pour aller plus loin dans la mise en œuvre du Cadre d’action de Belém (BFA). Le bilan à mi-parcours de la CONFINTEA VI, prévu pour 2017, évaluera les résultats de ces actions et examinera les principaux éléments émanant des rapports nationaux soumis par les Etats membres de l’UNESCO pour le troisième Rapport mondial sur l’apprentissage et l’éducation des adultes (GRALE III). La publication du GRALE III est programmée pour l’automne 2016. La nouvelle Recommandation de l’UNESCO sur l’apprentissage et l’éducation des adultes vient d’être signée. Parallèlement au BFA, elle contribuera à énoncer les priorités liées à l’alphabétisation et l’apprentissage et éducation des adultes dans le monde et à les positionner au sein du Cadre d’action Education 2030.
Dans ce contexte, l’Institut de l’UNESCO pour l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie continuera d’apporter son soutien aux États membres souhaitant actualiser leurs politiques d’apprentissage et éducation des adultes et mettre en œuvre des programmes efficaces. L’apprentissage et éducation des adultes peuvent contribuer dans une très large mesure à favoriser la santé et le bien-être des populations, à étayer le développement social et citoyen, et à améliorer l’employabilité. Les éléments d’information fournis par le GRALE III et le bilan à mi-parcours de la CONFINTEA VI permettront aux États membres de l’UNESCO d’acquérir une vision plus large de l’apprentissage et éducation des adultes et mettront en lumière sa valeur pour les individus, économies et sociétés.

Prólogo
La última Reunión de Seguimiento de CONFITEA VI tendrá lugar en Montego Bay, Jamaica, del 30 de junio al 1 de julio de 2016. Reunirá a Ministros de Educación y expertos del aprendizaje y la educación de adultos (AEA) de la subregión del Caribe para evaluar la política y el desarrollo del programa de AEA, centrándose en el progreso hecho gracias a la implementación del Marco de Acción de Belem (MAB). En la sesión, los participantes elaborarán un plan de acción subregional en el que se identifiquen las actividades prioritarias a llevar a cabo en el Caribe para apoyar la futura implementación del MAB. La Revisión Intermedia de CONFITEA VI, que está programada para 2017, evaluará los resultados de estas acciones y examinará las principales conclusiones derivadas de los informes nacionales presentados por los Estados Miembros de la UNESCO en el Informe Mundial sobre el Aprendizaje y la Educación de Adultos (GRALE III, por sus siglas en inglés). La publicación de GRALE III está prevista para el otoño de 2016. La nueva Recomendación sobre el Aprendizaje y la Educación de Adultos de la UNESCO se firmó recientemente. Esta, junto con el MAB permitirá organizar las prioridades relativas a alfabetización y AEA en todo el mundo y situar ambas en el Marco de Acción para la Educación 2030.
En este contexto, el Instituto de la UNESCO para el Aprendizaje a lo Largo de Toda la Vida seguirá dando su apoyo a los Estados Miembros mediante la actualización de las políticas del AEA y proporcionando programas efectivos. El AEA tiene un papel crucial en la mejora de la salud y bienestar de las personas, en el desarrollo social y cívico y en el aumento de la empleabilidad. Las reflexiones resultantes de GRALE III y de la Revisión Intermedia de CONFITEA VI posibilitarán a los Estados Miembros de la UNESCO desarrollar una visión integral del AEA y destacar el valor que tiene para los individuos, economías y sociedades.

Recognizing vocational competencies to build a more qualified workforce
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are working to establish a coherent system for the recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) of vocational competencies acquired through non-formal and informal learning.
The importance of recognizing and validating currently unrecognized vocational competencies
In these three Central Asian countries, national and sectoral agencies are placing increasing emphasis on recognizing how workers apply knowledge, skills and competencies, rather than on the settings in which they acquired these competencies. Competencies that are acquired informally are important in these countries, as they involve specialized knowledge and expertise that are difficult to develop through formal learning systems. It is therefore imperative to create synergies and smooth transitions between non-formal, informal and formal learning by developing procedures and processes for identifying, validating and recognizing competencies acquired at work, during training, in everyday life and in leisure activities.
