The convention is designed to promote academic mobility and streamline the recognition of higher education qualifications and professional credentials among participating countries. These include major education and labour markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

Under the agreement, qualifications obtained in Kazakhstan will be assessed through fair and transparent procedures, making it easier for graduates of Kazakhstani universities to pursue further education or employment abroad.
