Abstract: Most recently, in 2018 the European Commission in its Communication on Strengthening European Identity through Education and Culture, proposed as one of the actions towards the creation of a European Education Area an adoption of a Recommendation on the mutual recognition of higher education and upper secondary education diplomas and study periods abroad. The Commission considers this as “the first step in removing obstacles to the mobility of higher education students and secondary school pupils across the EU”, as it suggests that: • a higher education qualification gained in one Member State is automatically recognised, for the purpose of granting access to further studies, in the others; • an upper secondary qualification giving access to higher education (including those in VET) in one Member State is automatically recognised, for the purpose of granting access to higher education, in the others; • the outcomes from a learning period abroad in secondary and higher education should be recognised and allow enrolment in the next year of school or study, when appropriately documented. But until the above suggestions are enshrined in a legal text, if you are a student, or a worker of EU citizenship, and wish to study or work in another Member State, it is still worth checking comparability of your degrees and qualifications.
