DEGREE RECOGNITION IN PARAGUAY

Recognition Through CONES

In Paraguay, the Consejo Nacional de Educación Superior (CONES) is responsible for recognition of foreign academic degrees at pregrado, grado, and postgraduate levels within its legal jurisdiction.

Recognition is an administrative process through which the foreign credential and its supporting documentation are evaluated according to Paraguayan higher education regulations.

Recognition and registration are separate stages. CONES recognition is a prerequisite for academic purposes and is also required before the corresponding title registration process with Paraguay's Ministry of Education and Sciences when applicable.
