Equal Access to Work Oriented Qualification
BAU will promote the Work Oriented Educational
Qualification Policy based on the recognition
that the people are the richest resource of the
nation. BAU believe that professional
qualification is a fundamental right of all
people and can be an essential instrument for
the building a nation of equals.
Recent researches have shown that many adults
without formal educational qualifications and up
to 25 per cent of all adults have some level of
literacy problems. This is one of the lowest
levels of literacy in the industrialized world.
The Higher Education Authority reported in 2000
that there had been no significant improvement
in the number of school-leavers from
disadvantaged backgrounds reaching university
over the past five years.
BAU believes that Qualifications can
fundamentally and positively transform society.
At its best, it is child- and student focusing
on the needs, aspirations and talents of each
individual learner. Decades of under-funding,
however, have prevented adults from reaching
their full potential through the Red Brick
Education System. The education system continues
to mirror and maintain social division and
exclusion. Affordability of adult education is a
myth.
BAU will support and work for the development of
an ethos of " Work Based Qualifications" within
the professional education system
internationally. This will be building a
meaningful partnerships between business
organization and individuals, which will the
society and economic needs. BAU will be the
campaign in breaking the traditional Red Brick
concept to Work Based Degree Qualification as
the equal recognised achievement second to none
and as most of the countries that have basic
literacy problems.
