Abstract
Abstract This article contributes to the comparative literature on the growing role of “validation of prior learning,” by analyzing the emergence and implementation of VPL in North Macedonia. Based on documents and qualitative interviews, the article provides an historical- institutionalist perspective on these processes. The article argues that a lack of stakeholder engagement, linked to a very low degree of institutional change in the country’s skill formation system, inhibits the development and implementation of VPL.
