IECEP and the Washington Accord?

[gbbot]

I just want to know what is the position of IECEP on the Washington accord. Since the Philippines is not signatory to this agreements, all our engineering professionals are not recognized outside the country. This is also a reason why we have to upgrade our basic primary and secondary education to the K-12 educatioin system.


For those not familiar with this, i have this short intro... http://www.washingtonaccord.org/

There are six international agreements governing mutual recognition of engineering qualifications and professional competence. In each of these agreements countries/economies who wish to participate may apply for membership, and if accepted become members or signatories to the agreement. In broad principle, each country/economy must meet its own costs, and the body making application must verify that it is the appropriate representative body for that country/economy.


Agreements covering tertiary qualifications in engineering
There are three agreements covering mutual recognition in respect of tertiary-level qualifications in engineering:

The Washington Accord signed in 1989 was the first - it recognises substantial equivalence in the accreditation of qualifications in professional engineering, normally of four years duration.

The Sydney Accord commenced in 2001 and recognises substantial equivalence in the accreditation of qualifications in engineering technology, normally of three years duration.

The Dublin Accord is an agreement for substantial equivalence in the accreditation of tertiary qualifications in technician engineering, normally of two years duration. It commenced in 2002.

itong APEC Engineers program...may credibility ba to?
ba't hindi recognized dito sa Canada ang APEC Engineers?
