Project Summary

With the growth of globalization, education and employability challenges, there is an expanded need to graduate confident future leaders by providing them with the necessary documents supplement to their diploma and helping them highlight on their qualifications acquired from different Higher Education institutions. The right implementation of the project will result in various outputs and products that will promote the Higher Education System in Lebanon. The project could eventually unite universities, graduates, employers and other stakeholders for the sake of delivering a Diploma Supplement that could translate the qualifications and skills of students and refugees graduated from Lebanese Higher Education institutions. These outputs are summarized as follows:- Clear educational objectives and student outcomes for degree programs- Principles for generating a Diploma Supplement similar to the ones adopted in Europe- A national information centre which oversees the Lebanese Diploma Supplements issuance and raises awareness on its benefits to students and refugees- A platform “LEBPASS” that includes the Diploma Supplement module and other related modulesThe envisioned impacts of the project are really promising and listed as follows:1- Sufficient independent data to promote transparency between Lebanese and other Higher education Systems 2- A potential initiative towards recognition of prior learning and pre-university education for all students including refugees willing to resume their university studies in Lebanon3- A clarified common language for the nature, level, context, content and status of university studies in Lebanon4- Role model for Higher Education Systems in the region through the establishment of the LEBPASS platform and the Lebanese National Recognition Information Centre. This project shall be supported by European expertise that is of added value to the implementation process by offering guidance towards best practices adopted in Europe.
