    "content": "So, all other Chinese universities which are not in the list that I will table here are not recognized. I want to make it very clear. (b) My Ministry has taken the following measures to promote awareness about these Chinese universities. 1. Through the Commission for Higher Education (CHE), the Ministry conducts annual exhibitions on Kenyan universities and foreign universities, where universities showcase their programmes and accreditation status. Kenyan parents, guardians and students are encouraged to visit the CHE website: www.che.ke and other related sources of information. Parents are also advised to make enquiries from the Commission for assistance and guidance. 2. The Ministry disseminates information about recognized universities also through the following exhibitions: Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) fairs in Nairobi and Mombasa, East African universities exhibition organized by Tanzania and Uganda. 3. The Commission works very closely with other international and regional accredited bodies. Institutions accredited by these bodies are also recognized by the CHE through mutual agreements, regional conventions and protocols. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, CHE is also a member of the International Network for quality assurance agencies in higher education. The agency is worldwide association of over 200 organizations active in theory and practice of quality assurance in higher education. From the agency, the CHE is able to get information about recognized universities in the world. (4) The CHE has established a resource centre, where there are database and directories on recognized higher education institutions. The resource centre is open to the public and some of the databases and directories available, include are the 23rd Edition of the World Higher Education Database published by the International Association of Universities, UNESCO 2012 and Europa World of Learning 2012, 62nd Edition. (5) Lastly, they offer a clearance service to Kenya students who prefer to study abroad. At this stage, clearance is only granted to students who meet country specific admission requirements, and only those proceeding to accredited universities are cleared. Parents and students should make use of this service."
