Despite the fact that the Report says about successful completion of the stage of work on the National Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (HE NQF - BelQF) and the approval of the project by Minister of Education, we would like to draw attention to a very formal approach to such a serious document development:

Belarusian Independent Bologna Committee (BIBC) and Ad Hoc Commission of Belarusian National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum (EaP CSF) continue to monitor the implementation of the EHEA tools in the higher education system by Belarusian authorities.
In 2018 Belarusian Ministry of Education was able to make a number of milestone decisions in pursuance of Work Plan implementation, which had been postponed for a long time pending the approval of new Education Code.
