EDUCATION - Presentation

presentation of the Council of
Definitions Agents - third parties, such as brokers, facilitators, or recruiters, that act as intermediaries between awarding and providing institutions for establishing transnational educational arrangements. An agent is not usually involved in the provision of educational services.
Awarding institution - a higher
education institution issuing degrees, diplomas, certificates or other
qualifications.
Transnational arrangements: Academic
quality and standards of TE
programmes should be at least comparable to those of the awarding
institution as well as to those of the receiving country. Information given by the awarding institution, providing
organization, or agent to students should be appropriate, accurate,
consistent and reliable.
The awarding institution is responsible for the agents appointed to act on its behalf. It should conclude written and legally binding agreements or contracts with these, clearly stipulating their roles, responsibilities, delegated powers of action as well as monitoring, arbitration and termination provisions. The awarding institution is responsible for and should control and monitor information made public by agents operating on its behalf, including claims about the recognition of the qualifications in the sending country, and elsewhere. The admission of students for a course
of study, the teaching/learning
activities, the examination and assessment requirements for educational
services provided under transnational arrangements should be equivalent to
those of the same or comparable programmes delivered by the awarding institution.
Qualifications issued through transnational programmes, complying with the
provisions of the Code, should be assessed in accordance with the stipulations
of the Lisbon Recognition Convention.
