Quote:One of many higher education challenges facing developing nations is they have limited or no means to ensure degrees granted in their countries will be accepted outside their borders. This is a major problem in the era of globalization when people need to have the credentials to work anywhere in the world.that would make hell of a lot more sense...we bloody recruit people with degrees in necessary fields, then force them to go through retraining (in canada)
A global accreditation body would create a method for developing nations to communicate the value of their degrees and provide these nations a method to measure the quality of their university programs.
It is a good idea.
To put this in a Canadian context, we often say that we have the most educated taxi drivers in the world. We have people holding PhDs from the developing world who cannot get jobs in their fields because their education is not recognized in Canada.

Change comes not when some group of radical seizes power, thatââ¬â¢s just a shift at the top. It comes when Mr. And Mrs. Ordinary make a stand. When the cake shop owner and teacher and the bearer boy come together and say, ââ¬ËThey are not afraid,ââ¬â¢ anymore.
