Many international students aiming to pursue further education sometimes face obstacles due to the requirement of transcripts or World Education Services (WES) evaluations by universities in the United States of America.
This challenge has notably impacted Nigerian students with Higher National Diploma (HND) degrees, leading to feelings of inadequacy and comparison with those holding Bachelor’s degrees from universities, particularly when seeking admission abroad.
World Education Services serves as a credential assessment, providing a comparison of academic achievements to standards in the U.S. or Canada. This evaluation aids institutions such as schools, employers, licensing boards, or immigration authorities in better understanding an individual’s educational background.
