Micro-credential policy implementation in Finland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and
Spain
Smaller, more targeted, and more flexible than traditional education and training
programmes, micro-credentials have become a prominent feature of education, training
and labour market policy discussions in recent years. Several OECD countries have
already started the development of national micro-credential ecosystems, and many
others are looking to follow suit.
This OECD Education Policy Perspective serves as Part B in a two-part series of summary
papers. The first publication, Paper A, examined the evolving landscape of micro-credentials,
with a particular focus on the development of public policies that can foster effective
utilisation of micro-credentials for lifelong learning, upskilling and reskilling.
This publication, Paper B, presents case studies from four European Union Member States
– Finland, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Spain. The document was authored by Roza
Gyorfi and Shizuka Kato from the OECD Higher Education Policy Team and Thomas Weko
from George Washington University.
