Re: Educational Qualifications

In a recent survey conducted by Parchment, 550 "learners believe it’s
acceptable to share a copy of their credential and display it publicly
online through social sites"

This is being done without a standard way to prove the authenticity (trust)
of the credential by consumers.

Issuer's would rather offer learners (credential Holders) a solution that
serves the needs of all stakeholders.  The lack thereof, has learners
"hacking" thier own  methods. That, IMHO, is the main motivation for
Education.

some people may not be so keen on supporting credentials, as this statistic
would demonstrate a potential impact on the capacity for people to maintain
employment / feed families, due to new information that may be less
fortunately made available to employers...
