Definition: A disorder characterized by impairment of memory, learning difficulties, and reduced ability to concentrate on a task for more than brief periods. There is often a marked feeling of mental fatigue when mental tasks are attempted, and new learning is found to be subjectively difficult even when objectively successful. None of these symptoms is so severe that a diagnosis of either dementia (F00-F03) or delirium (F05.-) can be made. This diagnosis should be made only in association with a specified physical disorder, and should not be made in the presence of any of the mental or behavioural disorders classified to F10-F99. The d ...[+++]isorder may precede, accompany, or follow a wide variety of infections and physical disorders, both cerebral and systemic, but direct evidence of cerebral involvement is not necessarily present. It can be differentiated from postencephalitic syndrome (F07.1) and postconcussional syndrome (F07.2) by its different etiology, more restricted range of generally milder symptoms, and usually shorter duration.

Some of its tools do not promote flexible learning pathways nor do they allow for the comprehensive recording of skills acquired through non-formal or informal learning, including through on-line learning, as stated in the recent Commission’s Communication ‘Opening up Education’.[6] Evaluation data also show that most Europass tools still do not fully reach large groups of potential users.

This report analyses the achievements of the Europass framework on the basis of the external evaluation of Europass carried out in 2012.[4] It stresses that the original objectives remain relevant, in particular to the Education and Training 2020 Strategic Framework for European cooperation (ET 2020).[5] Europass supports the movement of learners and workers for lifelong learning or work by allowing skills, qualifications and learning outcomes to be compared.

Work-based learning also facilitates the development of the learning outcomes approach in VET with the shift towards competence-based learning, competence-based qualifications and assessments (skills demonstrations). Therefore, employers should be encouraged to maximise the offer of apprenticeship and traineeship placements.

In its annual work programme, the Network should define the technical details of the PES benchmarking and the related mutual learning exercise, in particular the benchlearning methodology, on the basis of the benchmarking indicators as set out in the Annex to this Decision to assess the performance of PES, the context variables, the data delivery requirements, and the learning instruments of the integrated mutual learning programme.
