Equivalents to the UK's old National Record of Achievement?
February 2, 2016 5:00 AM Subscribe
Do other countries have (past or present) an equivalent to the UK's old 'National Record of Achievement' for pupils?
In the 1990s, the UK had a scheme in schools where pupils issued with a 'National Record of Achievement' at age 16 that they were supposed to use to summarise their achievements and manage their learning and development.
It came in a standardised folder with information sheets on:
- personal details
- personal statement
- qualifications and credits
- achievements and experiences
- employment history
- achievements in education
- attendance record
- individual action plan
It ultimately failed, and was replaced with a similar 'Progress File', but this was also scrapped in the mid-2000s.
I'm interested in whether any other countries around the world have similar schemes - either past or present - and whether they are considered effective or valuable.
