The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Ms Athina Michaelidou, made statements today, after the end of the Council of Ministers' meeting, regarding the bill on the mutual recognition of qualifications between Cyprus and Greece, which was approved today by the Council of Ministers.
Specifically, the Minister said: "The Council of Ministers today approved a bill entitled: The Agreement between the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, on behalf of the Republic of Cyprus, and the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, on behalf of the Hellenic Republic, on the mutual academic recognition of university qualifications of higher and higher educational institutions and other approved institutions."
The purpose of the bill, Ms Michaelidou added, "is the ratification of the Agreement between the Republic of Cyprus and the Hellenic Republic on the mutual academic recognition of university degrees of higher and higher education institutions, which was signed on 1 February 2023."
Ms. Michaelidou noted that "the positive aspect of this signature and the approval of the Council of Ministers - which allows us to proceed with the submission to the Parliament - is the simplification and facilitation, but also the shortening of the procedures followed in the two countries, Cyprus and Greece, regarding the mutual academic recognition of qualifications."
"A list of universities and institutions of higher education, which are approved and for which academic recognition will be implemented, has already been defined and the list can be updated in consultation between the two sides," the Minister of Education concluded.
