More than 6,000 people took part.

It will be easier for foreigners to have diplomas recognised or to continue studies in Poland. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education has drawn up a regulation on the subject.

Today a new regulation has been published on the subject of recognising higher education diplomas  gained abroad and confirming completion of higher education studies at a specified level. In this way, anyone not in possession of a final diploma will be able to verify their skills with other documents such as a student book or indeks.
