European Higher Education with France & the Fashion Accreditation Board: FAB
The aim was to create a European Higher Education Area, in which students can choose from a wide and transparent range of high quality courses and benefit from smooth recognition procedures. More compatible and comparable, more competitive and more attractive for Europeans and for students and scholars from other continents. This creation and Board was needed then and reform is still needed today if Europe is to match the performance of the best performing systems in the world, notably the United States and Asia.
The three principles are: Introduction of the three cycle system (Bachelor of Arts in three years /Masters in Fashion / doctorate), quality assurance and recognition of qualifications and periods of study.
Steered by European Ministers responsible for higher education, this is a collective effort of public authorities, universities, teachers and students, together with stakeholder associations, employers, quality assurance agencies, international organisations and institutions. Although the process goes beyond the EU’s borders, it is closely connected with EU and French policies and programmes.
The Board is supporting a broad range of measures to modernise the content and practices of higher education, including with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme(LLP), European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning(EQF). The EQF is linked to and supported by other initiatives in the fields of transparency of qualifications, Credit transfers (the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System for higher education- ECTS - and the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training- ECVET) and quality assurance (European association for quality assurance in higher education - ENQA - and the European Network for Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training - ENQA-AVET).
