New higher education institutions portal on agenda of UNESCO experts meeting today and tomorrow
13-11-2006 (Paris)
Free of charge, easy to access and searchable, these are the characteristics of a future “UNESCO Portal on Recognized Higher Education Institutions” that experts meeting today and tomorrow at UNESCO’s Headquarters in Paris.
The principal aim of the project is to increase the transparency of quality provision in cross-border higher education by providing information and easy access to online resources for students through a UNESCO-hosted portal.
The pilot project will involve a limited number of countries who are each responsible for their own national content. Once the feasibility, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the project are established, it can provide the foundations for the implementation of a larger-scale project hosted by UNESCO.
This project is a follow-up to the UNESCO/OECD Guidelines on Quality Provision in Cross-Border Higher Education.
