UNESCO celebrated yesterday, November 25, a year after the signing of the Global Convention on the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications, attended by representatives of the signatory countries, including Romania, through the National Center for Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas.

The anniversary reiterated the general objective of the Convention, namely the international needs for academic and professional mobility, to ensure respect for applicants' rights to a fair and transparent recognition of their qualifications / diplomas, as well as the obligations of holders of such qualifications and the implementation of clear and non-discriminatory recognition procedures.

This event also overlapped with the entry into force of the Regional Convention for the Recognition of Studies for Africa, signed in Addis Ababa, on which occasion the recognition of studies became easier in the states of the region, signatories of this Convention.

To promote the Global Convention on the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications and the General Principles for the Recognition of Studies and the Encouragement of the Mobility of Students and Teachers, UNESCO has created a dedicated website containing the text of the Convention, related events and success stories:
