Have a look at the final draft text of the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in English and Ukrainian (© translation ENIC Ukraine – State-owned company “Information and Image Centre”).

The State-owned company “Information and Image Centre”, authorized to perform the functions of the National Information Centre of Academic Mobility (ENIC Ukraine) in the scope of its legal capacity and in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine from the very beginning has been involved into the activities, related to the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education: drafting procedure, rounds of written consultations, intergovernmental consultation meetings and elaboration of the final draft of this important international document.

The ongoing transformation of international university into the global campus of students, faculty and researchers is the mainstream trend in the modern higher education area, where more than 5 million students are studying abroad. These numbers, as well as the geography of mobility in the sphere of higher education, are estimated to grow in the years to come. Hence, the urgent need to establish the global regulatory framework to administer the process worldwide is obvious.

In order to keep up with the above-mentioned global trend during the last years the UNESCO reinforced actions for the elaboration of the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education, which is expected to be adopted by its 40th General Conference Session, November 12-27, 2019 in Paris.
