Re: "Academic qualification" classification

[Antenore Gatta]

I don't know honestly... But for sure we cannot cover all the cases and aspects of the world education system and...

IMHO:

* Skills vs Education

If you have or not a doctorate/master/diploma it doesn't make you an Hacker/Developer/Admin.
You can get skills through studies (any), courses, special schools (not  recognized by the law)  or thanks to your aptitudes.

* Trusting or Not

We shouldn't act as approver   of the education's path followed by any entity. It is the Company that is looking for someone that will check that such  education's path is in line with their expectations.

So, maybe it would be better to have an open field where the applicant could insert one or more (more of course) schools, courses or whatever.

Sorry if I'm too much simplistic.

Antenore.

Postgraduate/Masters?

Also on that page: "The UK is almost unique in that graduates with a
Bachelor's (Honours) degree can undertake doctoral studies without
first having to obtain a Master's degree" which is what I did (but
didn't complete successfully) and I think it's pretty usual if someone
has first-class honours in a similar subject as a doctorate.

Why are we emphasising certifications from academies over
certifications from each other?  Can we harness advogato's trust
metric work here?
