The Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education will enter into force and become legally binding in the early months of 2023, after receiving its 19th and 20th ratifications in December 2022. The Convention enhances students’ ability to easily move across borders to pursue their higher education studies as it facilitates fair, transparent and non-discriminatory recognition of prior learning and qualifications. The instrument also fosters recognition of refugee qualifications even in the absence of documentary evidence.
