Implementation of the Process of Recognising Education Effects Obtained in Non-Formal and Informal Education Systems in Higher Education Institutions in Poland

Abstract

The decision of the European Commission obliges all of the EU member states to prepare and implement the process of recognising the effects of education obtained in non-formal and informal systems in higher education. The progress is varied in different countries and Poland is preparing to create the procedures and implement the changes. The knowledge and expectations of the employers regarding this process are the subject of research and are aiming at familiarising the academic environment with the possibility of implementing the effects of education in order to make the studies more practical and prepare the graduates to actively enter the job market. The objective of the paper is to present the results of surveys presenting the knowledge, expectations and areas of industry-academia cooperation in the scope of implementing the process of recognition in higher education in Poland in the Finance and Accounting teaching module.
