Abstract

The qualification frameworkof is an instrument for development,
classification and recognition of skills, knowledge and competencies in the
process of continuous lifelong learning. It is a way of structuring the existing
and inclusion of the new qualifications in a framework that covers all the
competenciesacquiredatprimary, secondary and higher education.
European Commission in March 2005 adopted the European
Qualifications Framework (EQF), which envisaged that the countries in the
European Union and other countries participating countries in the Lisbon
strategy will align their National Qualification Frameworks with the EQF by
2012. Accordingly, the proposed National Qualifications Framework (NQF)
should be set in correlation with the levels in the European Qualifications
Framework for lifelong learning and the cycles of higher education
according the Bologna process. In this way, the NQFs qualifications will
receive an initial comparability of qualification systems with other countries
that used EQF or are involved in the Bologna process.
In early 2009 the Republic of Macedonia joined in thecreation of
own NQ Fin order: qualifications to become more explicitand with clearly
defined objectives; to facilitaterecognition and nationally and in ternationally
