Inter-governmental Certificate of Degree Equivalence (ICDE)

A Global Standard for cross-border use of Educational Credentials In a move to promote global education and equality, EDU, an intergovernmental organization established by treaty and endowed with independent juridical personality under international law, has launched the Inter-governmental Certificate of Degree Equivalence (ICDE). This new initiative aims to address the growing need for a unified, internationally recognized framework to evaluate academic degrees from all around the world. The primary mission of EDU has always been to advance education and foster international cooperation. The introduction of the ICDE builds on this mission by providing an equitable, transparent, and universally accepted method for verifying the equivalence of academic credentials, regardless of a graduate’s country of origin.
