Comparability Standard Validation

 

Comparability Standard Validation involves the academic assessment and evaluation of a whole University's establishment regarding its suitability to award degrees in accordance with the academic standard required by the Government's Accrediting Agency such as the Nigerian Universities Commission(NUC) of the Ministry of Education before awarding Degrees in accordance with Nigerian laws.

On the international scene, such function is being performed by the University of California FCA and several other professional bodies around the world of which WES of Canada is the famous among them.

This also includes the assessment and evaluation of the Certificate, Diploma and Degrees awarded by any tertiary institution to a student applying for admission into the University of another country.

The Academic Assessment and Evaluation Experts would carry on their investigation regarding the educational standard of the country, the University's facilities, Curriculum and the student's academic performance to compare with the foreign country educational standard and the Curriculum of the University the student wish to study.

This comparability assessment and evaluation exercise will result in determining the academic equivalence of the student's current academic qualification before gaining admission into the foreign University.

 In most cases, based on the equivalent result, the Bachelor Degree could either be downgraded to an Ordinary Diploma status in line with the academic standard of the University the student is applying for admission or may be exempted from part of the programme on gaining the Admission before advancing to Master's Degree programme.

Accreditation of Prior Learning And Experience Award

This form of validation requires the assessment and evaluation of an Applicant who had not received any form of formal education but very passionate to acquire either Diploma or Degree but seems impossible due to poor academic background. Take as an example, he or she is an expert in hotel management business without any academic or professional qualification in that field. This type of validation is known as "Accreditation of Prior Learning and Experience Award" based on UNESCO's rules.

On the other hand, it involves the evaluation and assessment of Individual's informal training and professional skills already acquired outside the Classroom studies and to be given the equivalent credit for direct admission into the tertiary institution either to begin from Level 100 or become exempted from part of Level 200 of the programme based on the evaluation and assessment result without passing through the normal Admission Procedure.

Consequently, like in France, there are two types of Graduates from tertiary Institutions. One is known as "Validation Des acquis de I,experience (VAE) which stand for "VALIDATION OF ACQUIRED EXPERIENCE". The other is to follow-up the required Procedure prior to admission; while the VAE model does not require University's Admission Procedure but any individual would be awarded either Diploma or Degree based on assessment and evaluation Result.

Based on this Development, the European-American University had been registered with the French Government based on the VAE Model Award for the evaluation and assessment of Prospective Applicant's Portfolio  either for Diploma or Degree Award dependent on the equivalent qualification  based on UNESCO rules as applicable in the United States and other parts of the world.

She awards Secular Degrees based on the VAE Model to her overseas graduates from France as the country of origin based on the fact that she is Tax Exempted in France recognized as one of the None Profit Organizations being a Religious University unlike in the United States where Tax Exemption is only for Religious Universities awarding Religious Degrees and not Secular Degrees.

As a matter of fact, she is the subsidiary of Western Orthodox University being her parent religious body. So she also maintains her religious status as None Profit Organization to award secular Degrees without Taxation.

Consequently, the University do establish her presence in other countries around the world wherever she would be Tax Exempted to award Secular Degrees in line with their Legislation in order to keep her fees affordable to the less privileged unlike other Institutions operating in higher Tax Rate Regions.
