The Romanian government on Thursday approved the format and content of the country's National Qualifications Framework (CNC), an instrument that will improve the transparency, comparability and recognition of the qualifications of citizens who want to have access to the European labour market.According to the government, CNC is aligned with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), contributing to the promotion of educational and professional mobility at national and European level, but also to the recognition and portability of formal, non-formal or informal learning.The CNC is structured on eight levels of qualification, each of which is described by learning outcomes, expressed in the form of knowledge (theoretical and/or factual), skills (cognitive, practical, intuitive or creative), as well as by the related degree of responsibility and autonomy. Level 1 reflects basic general knowledge and skills for performing simple tasks, carried out under direct supervision. Level 4 comprises factual and theoretical knowledge in a broader context, with a wide range of skills necessary for identifying and applying solutions to specific problems, as well as the ability to self-manage and supervise other people. Level 8 represents the most advanced degree of qualification, corresponding to cutting-edge knowledge in a field or at the intersection of several fields, advanced synthesis and evaluation skills, innovation, as well as a high degree of autonomy, authority and professional and scientific integrity, implying continuous commitment to the development of new ideas.
