Nurses who have undergone their professional training in Romania will have their professional qualifications recognised in Slovakia, according to a government amendment to the law on recognising education documents and professional qualifications passed by Parliament on Tuesday.
The new legislation reacts to a European Parliament directive and a recommendation of the Council of the European Union.
The amendment also introduces the concept of so-called automatic recognition of qualifications within EU-member countries needed for continuing studies [in another EU-member state]. "The aim is to ensure that a university qualification obtained in one member state is automatically recognised at the same level for the purpose of access to further studies in other member states," explained the law's submitter, the Education Ministry.
The amendment should take effect as of March 1, 2025.
