According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), competency-based education is an educational model centered on the student. It focuses on the development of competencies in students and on demonstration of their mastery. In contrast with the traditional model, it is not based on the credit hour-based system. Rather, it is a more holistic approach to education (UNESCO, n.d.).
