A qualifications framework is a formal structure that uses learning-level descriptors to organize and compare the qualifications awarded within an education system, helping to develop, assess and improve the quality and recognition of learning outcomes. Frameworks exist at national, regional, and sector levels: national examples include the Australian Qualifications Framework and the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework, regional examples include the European Qualifications Framework and the qualifications frameworks maintained by the Southern African Development Community and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and sector-level examples include Jamaica's technical and vocational education and training framework and South Africa's occupational qualifications subframework.
