The Commonwealth Parliament’s  Joint Standing Committee on Treaties recommends Australia ratify the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications

Reasons why include,

* “for Australian qualifications to be recognised and accepted worldwide would add to the value of an Australian qualification”

* “a framework for the recognition of qualifications gained both through traditional and non-traditional learning modes”

* Australia maintains “full autonomy” and its recognition system already complies with the convention.

And then there is the one that seals the deal,

“The committee notes the role Australia played in chairing the drafting committee and in achieving unanimous agreement for the Global Convention’s adoption in November 2019.”
