All Nations University in South Africa believes in Cross-border accreditation is a well -established reality in the international higher education landscape and is even recommended by UNESCO as a legitimate mechanism for promoting academic mobility and the recognition of studies between countries. Various institutions, colleges and universities hold licenses and are listed in the official database of countries ministry of education must also be considered when it comes to evaluation of foreign qualification. 

Lisbon recognition convention is a significant international treaty that governs the recognition of Higher education qualifications in a multitude of signatory nations including those in Europe and beyond. This convention establishes a framework under which qualifications from one signatory country must be recognized in others, unless substantial differences can be demonstrated.

It also ensures that qualifications obtained in one signatory country are assessed fairly and transparently in another. The convention is based on the fundamental principle that a foreign qualification should be recognized unless the recognizing authority can demonstrate substantial differences between that qualification and a comparable qualification in its own system.

The Lisbon Recognition Convention serves as a vital framework for promoting academic mobility and ensuring the fair evaluation of educational credentials across a wide range of nations.

Another foundation and legal status are United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – UNESCO that promotes quality education and address educational challenges globally. All those accrediting agencies recognized and in partnership with UNESCO, give it a legal standing comparable to other treaty-based educational bodies and guarantees validity to the accreditations it grants.

Public verification of institutions, colleges and universities legality, license (authorization) and other form of accreditation with Ministry of education with other countries in terms of evaluation of foreign qualification by SAQA – South Africa Qualifications Authority must also be considered and not just focus on operation within a specific country of origin of which institutions, colleges and universities might have accreditation with other countries of origin where they also operate. Lisbon Recognition Convention and UNESCO must form part of the research and consultation of SAQA in terms of evaluation of foreign qualification. 

Both modalities of a country’s higher educational systems must be considered in terms of research & consultation, some countries have 1 modality and others have 2.

Consultation must also be considered with the institutions, colleges and universities, where the foreign qualification was obtained, in most cases SAQA failed this process of consultation and only focus on 3th parties, which is the government educational system of origin within a certain country. (Both verification of qualification and quality assurance is needed before recommendation regarding evaluation of foreign qualification is made in cases where the institution, college or university obtained other accreditation with ministry of education).
