The Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) programme, is now an accredited programme. The programme is accredited by the Accreditation Unit within the Directorate for Quality and Standards in Education (DQSE) at three levels, namely at MQF level 1, MQF level 2 and MQF level 3. Each level carries 1 ECTS (1 credit), where each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours of direct contact time following the programme’s four-step methodology whereby learners (1) investigate a sustainability issue using reliable and credible sources, (2) research and propose solutions, (3) report through the different categories and (4) disseminate their reports to reach a wider audience.
To receive accreditation, link educators/students/independent candidates need to make sure to mark the appropriate tick box showing that they wish to be considered for accreditation. This is done during the uploading of entries.
Further information regarding the accreditation can be found in the booklet which can be downloaded from here.
