Recognition Of Prior Learning

This article explores the role of the European Union in defining an adult education policy and the way European countries appropriate those guidelines and implement them in their realities. These policies have been widening and diversifying adult education, creating the necessity of qualifying educational professionals. With the implementation of some adult education political measures, new educational practices were developed and new professional activities were born. This investigation is about the qualification of adult educators working in the processes of recognition of prior learning.

The main goal of the paper is to explain key elements of three cycles of adult education policy in Croatia from 1990 to 2018. The first cycles encompasses changes in the 1990s. The second begins in 2000 and is marked by the process of Europeanization within the process of Croatia’s accession to the European Union. The third begins with the accession of Croatia into the EU (2013) and with the passing of the Strategy of Education, Science and Technology (2014). In each cycle adult education policy instruments, actors, goals are analysed. In the last two cycles similar policy goals, instruments, actors as part of Europeanisation adult education policy are maintained, while first cycle is marked by political, ideological and institutional severing ties from the socialist education system. Final results of those processes are not satisfactory, and adult education is still marginalized with small participation in adult education.
