Validation Des Acquis de L'Experience - Recognition of The VAE Process

Recognition of The VAE Process

At the beginning the French professors and universities were reluctant to apply the VAE or were extremely difficult for the equivalences. However the VAE is the Law of the land and all universities must apply it if asked. In 2005 21,379 applied for the VAE, 61% of them were women. 59% received a full degree, among them 10% get a degree equivalent or superior to the Bachelor degree. Source Government Statistics .

More than 1250 Bachelor's or higher degree were granted through the VAE in 2005 in France (+50%).

In France the VAE is, according to the government website, in full expansion and totally accepted. Internationally, the countries, which ratified Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region, recognize it.

In the US, credentials evaluators, universities, federal and state governments also recognize the VAE degrees with the notable exception of the state of Oregon.

    “No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences.... Social feminists [in Europe] ... believe that men and society at large should provide systematic support to women in recognition of their dual role as mothers and workers.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    “By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.”
    —Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
