“…The findings presented here are the result of a structured focused comparison (George, 2019(George, [1979; Gläser & Laudel, 2019) of the development and implementation of RPL in the four countries studied, building on detailed case studies on the four countries that have been published elsewhere (Maurer, 2019(Maurer, , 2021(Maurer, , 2022Maurer & Morshed, 2022;Maurer & Spasovski, 2021). The case studies were prepared iteratively, starting with the case of Switzerland and in focussing on causal factors emphasised in some of the existing RPL literature (e.g., Cooper & Harris, 2013), which are also presented below.…”

“…Finally, the fourth section discusses the challenges in reaching the target groups. Again, it argues primarily on the basis of primary documents, but also refers to the detailed case studies on the four countries that have been published elsewhere (Maurer, 2019(Maurer, , 2021Maurer & Morshed, 2022;Maurer & Spasovski, 2021).…”

Why Is It So Difficult to Contribute to Social Inclusion Through Vocational Education and Training?

This paper compares “recognition of prior learning” (RPL) schemes in four countries, to find out the impact of VET policy reforms on social inclusion. The study finds that RPL schemes have only made limited contributions to social inclusion in these countries, for the following reasons: firstly, there are challenges in upper secondary VET, which, in all four countries, requires a substantial level of general education and transversal competencies, on which the key educational policy actors are not willing to compromise. Secondly, some countries used RPL to provide access to non-formal qualifications. Still, such schemes were only successful when those non-formal qualifications were already well-established in society and the labour market (prior to having been made accessible through RPL). The article argues that, for RPL to contribute more to social inclusion, schemes need to be less complicated and should also include complementary education and training provisions for all those who lack work experience in sectors where access to employment depends on certain qualifications.

“…As many researchers identified, strategic alliances are a source of knowledge that helps enhance synergy in the pursuit of circular practices. Indeed, one of the most cited papers is Mohammad Mahboob Morshed (2022) [82], that describes the role of collaborations as a part of international mandates in favor of SDGs. Research in environmental science can lead to sustainable practices that help reduce pollution and conserve resources.…”

“…Without proper knowledge and skills, the workforce is less equipped to implement circular construction methods effectively. Lorraine McIlrath et al, 2012 [81] and Mohammad Mahboob Morshed (2022) [82] emphasize the importance of industry-university strategic partnership for enhancing circular systems, methods and processes via education, training, research, network and financing. In a way, this can be considered as a gap of policy in circularity related education and training.…”

Circular Modality in Construction: an Interdisciplinary Review in Detecting Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Trajectories

A general consensus is that the conventional linear modalities guarantee no industrial sustenance in long run for many obvious reasons. This is where the topicality of circularity has been accentuated for the last two decades or so in socio-political arena. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that the emphasis given to circularity in the construction industry is relatively low. Tackling this issue essentially warrants a rigorous co-production of integrated knowhow preferably beyond sectorial boundaries. The present study sheds light on interdisciplinary approaches taken to deal with the slowness in transmuting circularity into construction sector. A comprehensive literature survey was undertaken to understand this phenomenon at policy, firm and site level. The analysis included one hundred twenty-eight (128) articles published in high impact journals between 2003 and 2024. Eighty seven (87) gaps in terms of theory, knowledge, practice, method, empiricism and policy were observed. Forty four (44) thematic sub-clusters have the potential of empirical research. A new framework was finally proposed to scaffold the systemic transition towards a circular construction sector. On a practical level, the study offer valuable insights and instruments for the industry personnel to gauge the efficacy of their own circular approaches and initiatives.
