The Commission for University Education has assured students whose universities have been listed offering unapproved degrees that there is no cause for alarm.
CEO Mwenda Ntaragwi said the report is based on input they received from the affected universities last year.
The CUE maintains that there are no useless courses and that the report is based on the state of some of the institutions.
“Some of these places have more students than the capacity they gave us,” said Ntarangwi.
The big question however is why it took the commission this long to point out the issue, given that some of the courses have students currently in their third year of study.
“This is an ongoing process. I cannot promise when but if it not approved it will be later, we are in conversations with these institutions,” said Ntarangwi.
This is however not the first time the issue of unapproved courses has aroused debate in the country, putting students whose future at the moment remains uncertain through pressure.
