This study aimed to improve the understanding of the qualification recognition system between Korea and Russia and to provide a way to help in the conclusion of the agreement on the qualification recognition in higher education through discussing related issues. To this end, we examined the recognition of academic qualifications in Korea and Russia, analyzed the status of mutual recognition of qualifications in higher education, and finally pointed out the issues raised and suggested ways to improve them. In the discussion of the qualification agreement, the issues are: first, whether the level of the agreement should be an intergovernmental agreement or an inter-institutional arrangement; Second, what is the scope of the agreement, and, third, with regard to the question of universality of the application of mutual recognition, whether this agreement can be universally applied to all Russian federal entities at the conclusion of the agreement. This study suggested that the mutual recognition agreement be concluded at a comprehensive and general level, and the qualification should be limited to academic qualifications, and the universality of the mutual agreement should be specified. Based on the results of this study, we proposed the necessity of regular and continuous discussions between the experts and government officials of the two countries in order to establish the system of the mutual recognition agreement and implementation process between Korea and Russia.

The purpose of this study is to present the internationalization of South Korea's aircraft maintenance certificate for mutual recognition of aircraft maintenance license qualifications among various countries in preparation for an internationalization of the work conducted by the aviation industry. To achieve this objective, this study reviews the aircraft maintenance license training system and compares the standards for aircraft maintenance certification established by the Convention on International Civil Aviation with the standards for issuing domestic aircraft maintenance licenses. This comparative analysis shows that the domestic curriculum of aircraft maintenance licenses differs from international standards. As a result of this study, an improvement plan of the education content was proposed to enable the licensing qualifications of domestic aircraft maintenance licenses to be mutually recognized among different countries.

With the advent of the information age and the knowledge-based society, human resource development has become a key factor in determining a nation's competitiveness. And technological qualification systems have a direct and significant influence on human resource development. In order to guarantee Korea's continued development as a competitive member of the international community, it is demanded that a Korean Technology Qualification System (KTQS) is to accept international qualification criteria. This study was conducted in order to analysis current movements about the international mutual recognition of Professional Engineer and present problems for introducing APEC Engineer System to KTQS, and also recommend reasonable plans which overcome those. Under the WTO/GATS, the liberalization of trade in professional services will steadily increase. APEC activities to facilitate the portability of qualifications is considered complementary to the WTO movement. If the government attempts to introduce the APEC criteria for university degree requirements, university curriculum standards, programs for continuing professional developments(CPD), and practical, on-site experience. In the standpoints with the recent developments of APEC Engineer agreement on profession qualification, it is important to guarantee that Korean qualifications have a common, international currency. Measures have to be taken to harmonize the qualifications standards for Professional Engineer with those set out by the WTO/GATS movement. Also this will require an increase in the quality of university curriculum and an establishment of CPD. This process will be further enhanced by the organization of APEC Engineer Monitoring committee, Consisting of government officials, professional engineers and university professors. At this committee we can discuss the best strategies to keep our nation's interests.

This study aims to provide the policy implications for the Korean government which has to attract foreign workers with higher education degrees in order to address shortage of human resources. As a way of doing this, the study has compared the foreign qualification evaluation and recognition (FQER) systems in Germany, Denmark and Norway. The results of the study reveal that the three countries are similar in that they have developed their own FQER systems according to the Lisbon Recognition Convention and has thus provided everyone with opportunities to have his/her qualifications evaluated fairly. However, there are differences in terms of the evaluation target, the recognition of prior learning and the linkage between the evaluation and employment approval for foreigners among the three countries. These cases altogether provide meaningful policy implications for the Korean government that has to develop its own FQER system in the near future.
