Because - If students leave Further Education – –Or even Secondary Education, With Badges They will seek Universities that offer Badges

How are Badges earned? The issuer determines the criteria for which the earner provides evidence of learning, usually to an agreed rubric. The learner demonstrates competency to an agreed criteria and they earn the badge.
