The new Decision consists of six chapters and 31 articles clarifying in details diploma and certificate forms; printing, managing, issuing, correcting, revoking, and canceling diplomas and certificates; and issuing their copies.

A new detail of the Decision is that information on diploma and certificate issuance will be published online. Accordingly, from the school year of 2008-2009 on, tertiary education establishments are required to make public the information on their websites in a way to facilitate the management, accession and search. The information must be updated regularly and stored long online.

This is expected to help make training activities and diploma and certificate issuance transparent; facilitate the inspection and supervision of these activities; and minimize frauds and negative phenomena.
