Notice on Invalidation of Academic Degrees from Certain Countries

The Ministry of Education's Study Abroad Service Center has recently announced the invalidation of certain foreign academic degree certifications due to their failure to meet established standards. This decision is based on thorough reviews prompted by reports and new evidence.

In accordance with Article 41 of the 'Measures for Accreditation of Academic Degrees Outside the Country', the center has taken comprehensive action regarding specific certificates. These certificates were found to contain discrepancies that prevented their approval.

The specific certificates identified in this review include Jiao Yu Fu Zhen Ying [2013] No. 16623 and Education Service Accreditation [2015] No. 00270. Both of these certificates have been officially invalidated as part of this initiative.

This move reflects the Ministry's commitment to maintaining rigorous academic standards for foreign degrees. As globalization increases, ensuring the credibility of overseas qualifications becomes paramount.

The implications of this decision are significant for individuals holding the invalidated degrees. Those affected may need to explore recertification or validate their qualifications through other means to meet local employment requirements.

The announcement was made public on May 30, 2025, emphasizing the Ministry's dedication to transparency and adherence to regulatory frameworks in the realm of education and professional qualifications.

Further information and guidance regarding the implications of these invalidations will likely be disseminated to concerned parties to aid them in understanding their options moving forward.
