5 What are the benfits of ratifying a convention on recognition?
Benefit for Member States of the convention Benefit for Students Ratification show commitment to improve mobility, employablity, and collaboration in the region. The convention’s shared standards help students navigate the region’s diverse education systems. Ratification aligns Member States with a strategy for improved information sharing, recognition of qualifications, and quality assurance measures. The Convention’s information sharing strategy helps assessment remain fair and transparent for all students. Ratification encourages fair and transparent recognition so that all Member States can benefit from qualified students and labour and improved economic productivity. The Convention supports a student’s right to appeal a denied assessment, which assures fairness and fights discrimination and corruption.
