Some angry students from ABM University College yesterday demanded answers from the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MoESD) concerning one of their courses which they claim is not accredited.But their complaint was quashed and they were told to go back to the Department of Tertiary Education Funding (DTEF).

Speaking to Mmegi, one of the students’ representatives Khumo Lekgetho who is currently studying for a Diploma in Tourism Management said they started getting suspicious  when the letter of sponsorship from the MoESD was not the same for all students.

“We are doing the same course, and we started it together, but the amount the MoESD loaned to each student is different. The other thing that is suspicious is that our dates of completion are different though it’s the same course,” she said.  The students say they took the matter to the school officials and their Student Representative Council (SRC) who have all turned a blind eye on the issue.  The students took the matter to the Tertiary Education Council (TEC) and were told that the course that was offered to them was not accredited and that it expired in May 2012.
