As a UNESCO member State, Liberia was represented at the Intergovernmental Meetings of Higher Education experts, including the March 22, 2019 gathering, when experts approved the Draft Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education. Given recent increase in the number of cross-border education activities as the result of an upsurge in migration around the world, college and university administrators are sharing research to better understand migration and its impact on higher education. The Addis Convention: The Africa Region’s Convention was adopted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 12 December 2014; it creates the norms for recognizing foreign higher education qualifications and gives access to higher education in the Africa region.
