Sino-ASEAN degree recognition in the works
Chinese and ASEAN education officials are pushing for an integrated system on mutual degree and qualification recognition in higher education, during the Sixth China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week held in Guizhou province in September. Education officials from China and ASEAN countries exchanged ideas on transferring credits between Chinese and Southeast Asian universities, clarifying their own degree and diploma systems, and determining how to guarantee education quality under an integrated system.”An integrated education system with the possibility of credit transfers and mutual degree recognition can inspire more ASEAN students to study in China and Chinese students (to study) in Southeast Asia,” said Zhang Xiuqin, head of the Chinese Ministry of Education’s Department of International Cooperation and Exchanges.
