Higher Education Credit Framework for England:
NEW Advice on Academic Credit Arrangements
Credit is more than simply a record of learning; it can be a course-design aid, a tool for describing the comparability of learning achieved in terms of volume and intellectual demand, and it can help learners see their journey in terms of learning outcomes and credit accumulation at each level of study.
The flexibility of credit systems can support learners to adapt to changes in their personal circumstances without having to disrupt or retake their learning. Students can use this flexibility to pause and return to study or move between providers and courses. Expressing learning achievements in smaller chunks can also help learners compare and make sense of the enormous range of academic and professional qualifications now available.
Credit values give information about the amount of learning and academic demands.

London Metropolitan College International participates in the UNESCO/UNO International Day of Education 2021
Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.
Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving
millions of children, youth and adults behind.
Today, 258 million children and youth still do not attend school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower
secondary school and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable.

London Metropolitan College International participates in the UNESCO World Teachers' Day 2020: Teachers: leading in crisis, reimagining the future, 5 October 2020
In 2020, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the theme “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”. The day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession
worldwide, take stock of achievements, and draw attention to the voices of teachers, who are at the heart of efforts to attain the global education target of leaving no one behind.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly added to the challenges faced by already over-extended education systems throughout the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the world is at a
crossroads and, now more than ever, we must work with teachers to protect the right to education and guide it into the unfolding landscape brought about by the pandemic.
The issue of teacher leadership in relation to crisis responses is not just timely, but critical in terms of the contributions teachers have made to provide remote learning, support vulnerable
populations, re-open schools, and ensure that learning gaps have been mitigated. The discussions surrounding WTD will also address the role of teachers in building resilience and shaping the
future of education and the teaching profession.

World Teachers' Day celebrations 2019!
In 2019, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the theme, “Young Teachers: The future of the Profession.” The day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, to take stock of achievements, and to address some of the issues central for attracting and keeping the brightest minds and young talents in the profession.
https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/worldteachersday
the profession is a major challenge globally. We must empower young teachers to shape education and teaching in
order to deliver quality learning and guarantee the right to education for all.
The world needs more young teachers
• In OECD countries, young teachers, i.e. under the age of 30 years old, make up a small proportion
of the teaching population. Teachers under 30 account for only 13% of teachers in
primary education, 11% in lower secondary and 8% in upper secondary on average across
OECD countries in 2017. (Source)
