The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has announced the launch of the pilot (BETA) version of the digital platform for the National Framework for Certificates and Qualifications (CNC), marking a key step toward modernising and standardising the country’s higher education qualification system.
The digital platform is designed to describe and rank higher education certificates based on defined levels of competence, learning outcomes, and skill sets. These include knowledge, practical skills, behavioural competencies, independence and responsibility, as well as communication abilities associated with each university qualification.
According to the Ministry, the framework aims to classify educational certificates and qualifications more clearly, define competency levels across academic programmes, and enable better comparison of qualifications both nationally and internationally. It also seeks to strengthen the link between higher education outcomes and labour market needs by aligning academic training with professional competencies.
In addition, the CNC framework is expected to improve transparency in the education system by clearly outlining the knowledge and skills acquired at each academic level. This is intended to help employers, institutions, and students better understand the value and relevance of different qualifications.
Officials said the launch of the digital CNC platform represents a major milestone in building a more reliable and transparent education system. It is expected to create a stronger bridge between university graduates and the needs of the national economy, while also enhancing graduates’ recognition and mobility in both local and international job markets.
