Through cooperation and teamwork between the European Commision and the European Education Council for Non-Formal Education, the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCE) was created. This regulation gives several classifications and requirements so that non-formal education could be recognized according to its categories. These steps can help improve awareness of the importance of non-formal education to Romanian citizens, as well as achieve recognition in career paths. 

“We emphasize that non-formal education is a part of long-life learning and honing soft skills. With that, it should be ensured that while non-formal education does not hand out diplomas like formal education does, there are still levels and special recognition,” Atalia added. The Romanian government currently has two main objectives in ISCE. First is to provide materials that formal education does not provide. The second is to reach all levels of society and achieve social inclusivity.  read more
