(b)the procedures and criteria for the assessment of foreign qualifications shall be transparent, coherent and reliable, and shall be reviewed periodically with a view to increasing transparency, taking account of developments in the education field;
(c)in the assessment of the foreign qualifications concerning higher education, the international and national legal frameworks shall be applied in a flexible way with a view to making recognition possible;
(d)in cases where the decision of the commission is different from the recognition requested by the applicant, including cases where no form of recognition is possible, the Commission shall inform the applicant of the reasons for the decision reached and his or her possibilities for appealing against it;
(e)while the aim of the Commission to assess the foreign qualification in qualitative terms, the assessment shall be undertaken without to some extent relying on both qualitative and quantitative criteria where quantitative criteria are relevant to quality and may supplement qualitative criteria; and
(f)recognition shall be granted wherever possible, unless there is a substantial difference in terms of content, profile, workload, quality and learning outcomes with similar programmes available locally.

80. Evaluation of Foreign Qualifications

(1)The Commission shall evaluate, recognize and equate foreign degrees, diplomas and certificates conferred or awarded by foreign universities and institutions.
(2)In its evaluation under paragraph (1) the Commission shall—
(a)establish the status of the qualifications presented taking into account the status of the institution and/or programmes through which the qualifications were awarded;
(b)establish whether the higher education institution belongs to the countries operating under the auspices of any international or regional conventions;
(c)take due account of the established quality assurance system, including the system of formal evaluation of higher education institutions and programmes in the originating country;
(d)identify the qualification in the system of the country in which recognition is sought which is most comparable to the foreign qualification, and where available, the Commission shall refer to the National Qualifications Framework and Regional Qualification Frameworks;
(e)consider differences in the content, profile, workload, quality and learning outcomes. In such cases the evaluation shall seek to establish alternative recognition that shall include—
(i)recognition of the foreign qualification as compared to a qualification of Kenya, but not that indicated by the applicant;
(ii)partial recognition of the foreign qualification; and
(iii)full or partial recognition of the foreign qualification subject to the applicant successfully taking additional examinations, further study aptitude tests or other compensatory measures;
(f)take into account prior learning, credit transfer, different forms of access to higher education, joint degrees and lifelong learning in recognition of some academic qualifications which are awarded in short duration, without diminishing the learning outcomes, and a decision not to grant recognition shall not be motivated by duration alone;
(g)consider previous levels of education only where these levels have a bearing on the outcome of the evaluation, and shall as far as possible, be limited to qualifications of a level immediately preceding the qualification for which recognition is sought; and
(h)apply best professional skills and take note of all relevant information. Where adequate information on the learning outcomes is available, this shall take precedence in the evaluation over consideration of the education programme which has led to the qualification.
(3)Where qualifications are under previous higher education structures the following principles shall apply—
(a)the field in which the qualification is awarded as well as activities undertaken by the applicant since the qualification was issued;
(b)the status of the qualification of the issuing country, and where a national qualifications framework exists in the issuing country, whether previous qualifications are recognized thereunder;
(c)older qualifications shall be recognized along the same lines as the more recent and similar qualifications issued in Kenya, taking into account the purpose for which such recognition is sought and relevant work experience shall be considered for dated qualifications; and
(d)learning outcomes, the quality of the programme and its duration shall be taken as some of the indicators of the level of achievement reached at the end of the programme.

81. Criteria for recognition and equation of qualifications
