Regional Convention The Asia-Pacific Regional Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) aims to contribute, through joint action, to the promotion of the active cooperation of all the nations of the Asia and the Pacific region in the cause of peace and international understanding and to the development of more effective collaboration with other Member States of UNESCO with regard to a more comprehensive use of their educational, technological and scientific potential.

Through the Convention, the contracting states agree to take all feasible steps at the national, bilateral and multilateral levels, in particular by means of bilateral, subregional, regional or other agreements, arrangements between universities or other higher educational institutions and arrangements with the competent national or international organizations and other bodies, with a view to the progressive attainment of the goals defined in the Convention.

To have a qualification recognized, through the UNESCO recognition convention, students must consult the Convention ratified by both the country where they have done their studies and the country where they would like to continue their studies and contact the National Information Center in the country where they would like to study.
