Implemented by the Council of Europe since 2017, the European Qualifications Passport for Refugees enables refugees and asylum seekers to have their qualifications assessed even in the absence of full documentation. The EQPR helps refugees and asylum seekers to enter further studies or to seek employment. It eliminates unnecessary and repeated further assessments of the same qualifications in other European countries if and when the EQPR holder moves.
This guide contains the historical overview and analysis of the latest developments in the system of education in Afghanistan, information about the available resources and examples of good practice when assessing qualifications from Afghanistan.
