Lisbon Recognition Convention
The Lisbon Recognition Convention is an international agreement established in 1997 to promote the recognition of higher education qualifications across countries. It aims to facilitate academic mobility and ensure that students can have their qualifications recognized when they study or work abroad. The convention is particularly important for fostering cooperation among countries in the field of education.
The convention emphasizes the importance of transparency and fair assessment of qualifications. It encourages countries to adopt policies that support the recognition of foreign diplomas and degrees, thereby enhancing educational opportunities and professional prospects for individuals. This agreement is part of broader efforts to create a more interconnected global education system.
