Purpose and desired outcomes of the guidelines: Promote a culture of quality and shared responsibility in tertiary education and training systems throughout Asia and the Pacific; Explain why a National Qualification Framework (NQF) is not a shortcut to international recognition of qualifications, or a quick solution to quality assurance; Strengthen connections between NQF, quality assurance and the recognition of qualifications to promote mobility and employability in Asia-Pacific, including through UNESCO’s policy instruments such as the Tokyo Convention on recognition.
