The review examines the numerous ways that informal learning occurs, the benefits and drawbacks of these different forms of informal learning, and the implications for equity. The review also discusses the potential ways that informal learning can be measured and recognized so that it translates more directly into value for the learner.

Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation

The Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation (RVA) of non-formal and informal learning has been developed further. The platform now has 50 case studies from 26 countries, as well as 28 country profiles. These good practices from around the world are expected to inspire employers and leaders of education institutions to more strategically recognize skills and knowledge obtained through non-formal and informal learning, which in return will motivate individuals to undertake lifelong learning.
