We are aware of this following complaints by students and parents who have from time to time, raised the issue with the Commission with the aim of knowing the status of the colleges which they have enroled in or hope to enrol in. 3100 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 9, 2007 (b) In view of these inquiries and public complaints, the Commission for Higher Education through the support of UNESCO is currently identifying colleges that may be offering these degrees in collaboration with foreign universities without authority. Those found to be offering degrees with an unaccredited universities will have their registration ripped off. (c) At the moment, the Ministry does not have a comprehensive list of colleges that are purporting to offer these degrees. However, a number of colleges have applied to the Commission for Higher Education to collaborate with foreign universities and the status of the application is as follows: I have a list of 27 that are being considered. The Ministry, through the Commission for Higher Education, made regulations which were gazetted on universities to guide offering of degrees as Rules of 2004 in order to control offering of degree programmes by colleges. These rules became operational in 2005."
