This change was put in place to align education levels with international standards and promote student mobility and academic qualifications globally. The reform involved the adoption of new curricula based on the LMD structure, with particular attention paid to the professionalization of higher education and the alignment of curricula with the needs of the labor market. In addition, the introduction of the LMD system has also encouraged the development of research and innovation, as well as the creation of closer links between higher education institutions and the private sector. However, despite these advances, challenges remain, particularly with regard to institutional capacity, financial resources, and the need to ensure the quality and relevance of curricula. In summary, the integration of the LMD system in the Democratic Republic of Congo represents an important step towards improving higher education, but its long-term impact will depend on the ability to address the ongoing challenges and ensure effective and balanced implementation across the country.
