Evaluation
of UNESCO’s regional conventions on the recognition of qualications in higher
educationUNESCO has
established a number of regional conventions on the recognition of
qualifications in higher education, which allow the recognition of
qualifications in higher education between states parties. Evaluation of UNESCO’s Regional Conventions on the Recognition of Qualifications
in Higher Education has just taken place. The evaluation focuses on the
importance and role of the higher education recognition conventions in the
various regional contexts, and several proposed action points to strengthen and
take the work forward in the future. These include a multi-stakeholder approach
and gender mainstreaming into work on the conventions. Putting in place
regulated monitoring instruments is essential to ensure the quality and
consistency of higher education worldwide.
