    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not allowing the establishment of universities in market places and everywhere. We have one law that is used to establish universities currently. The establishment of a university or university college goes through the law. The universities, however, can establish campuses for themselves. The problem with the current law, which we are hoping will be repealed in the next few weeks, is the fact that the autonomy in campuses does not allow you to re-penetrate and check. The laws that are about to come to this House are going to reform that bit of the law thoroughly, so that the Commission for Higher Education, which we have already reformed to be the Commission for University Education, will be able not only to inspect the universities that are established under that law, but will also be able to inspect any campuses and satellite campuses that are being initiated by the universities. In the previous law of the Commission for Higher Education, there was a clear indication that, actually, the private universities were the target of the Commission for Higher Education. In the new law, we are empowering the Commission to ensure that both public and private universities are treated equally and any little campus that is opened must be vetted before they open doors, so that we ensure that our students receive the requisite attention, both in the academic content and number of lecturers in the institution. So, we are addressing it."
