The article is based on findings of a working group appointed in April 2013 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder (KMK). Its task was to examine whether and how outcomes of non-formal learning can be reflected in the German national qualifications framework for lifelong learning (DQR). The article sets out key discussion points and the recommendations of the working group.
