Agreement on mutual recognition of education documents with Belarus enters into force 

On July 13, an agreement between the governments of Uzbekistan and Belarus on the mutual recognition of documents on education and on training entered into force.

The agreement was signed during the visit of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Belarus on August 1, 2019.

In accordance with the agreement, documents on education issued by state educational institutions or scientific organizations of one of the parties are recognized on the territory of the other side and allow continuing education on the corresponding programs of the next level.

The aforementioned international treaty helps to eliminate bureaucratic barriers to the acquisition of knowledge and create favorable conditions for Uzbek and Belarusian citizens, who intend to continue their education in educational institutions of the two countries.

However, the agreement does not apply to educational documents issued before its entry into force (with the exception of documents issued in the Uzbek SSR or Byelorussian SSR), and also does not cancel the recognition procedure in order to carry out professional activities in both countries.

The authorized bodies for the implementation of the above Agreement are the State Inspectorate for Supervision of Quality in Education under the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Education of Belarus.
