The Goals of ABE Articulation
The goals of ABE articulation are:
- to facilitate the transfer of students from one educational institution to another;
- to facilitate entry of students into further education programs;
- to lend credibility to the ABE Certificates/Diplomas for students seeking employment or further education;
- to provide a common terminology throughout the province for levels of achievement;
- to provide for exchange of information;
- to set and maintain learning outcomes which respect the autonomy of colleges and institutes to create equivalent course content;
- to set course requirements for diplomas and certificates;
- to assist, through working committees, in the development of guidelines for the content of courses identified for different levels of certification;
- to provide a forum for the discussion of ABE issues;
- to provide a common voice when addressing external bodies;
- to encourage development and exchange of curriculum materials.
