The practical use of the NQF in the RA HEI system and the labour market is mostly conditioned by the existence of the national system of Sectorial Qualifications Frameworks (SQF) designed on the base of the NQF. The SQFs designed for different subject (professional) areas are unique transition/connection tools between the NQF on the one hand and the professional field and/or educational programme on the other. This is a very vital issue for the RA higher education system, since the field is still formally regulated by the rigid State Educational Standards inherited from the Soviet centralized HE system, which strictly define the structure and content of each academic programme.
Taking into account the above stated in 2015-2016 within the frame of Tempus “ARMENQA” Project, 5 drafts of SQFs were developed for the fields of Education, Physics, Law, Civil Engineering and Agriculture, which are completely in line with the new NQF of Armenian higher education.
