The Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, Azeddine El Midaoui, said on Monday that his department received, in 2024, nearly 4,000 requests for equivalence of university degrees.
In response to a question from the Democratic and Social Constitutional Group during the session of oral questions in the House of Representatives, Mr. El Midaoui noted that these requests cover various higher education sectors.
According to the minister, the sectoral commissions have examined nearly 3,700 files, and proposed the granting of equivalence, the holding of evaluation exams or additional internships.
The Minister also explained that the equivalence procedure is governed by well -defined regulations, which includes an examination of administrative, educational and professional components depending on the specialties.
The equivalence procedure is not the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, insofar as the opinion of the ministerial departments and the professional orders concerned is required according to Specialties and regulated professions, he said.
The Minister reviewed the measures taken to accelerate the equivalence procedure, consisting in particular in the holding at a sustained rate of sectoral commissions meetings and in the expansion of the list of foreign higher education establishments having orders equivalence generals, exempting their graduates from the in force procedure.
It is also the simplification of the equivalence procedure, through the development of a platform, as well as the revision of the attributions of the National Agency for Evaluation and Quality Insurance (ANAEQ), in sight to carry out all of the operations linked to the reception and processing of equivalence requests.
