PAC warns unaccredited courses threaten economy

During their Wednesday session with the Ministry of Higher Education, PAC members pressed the Permanent Secretary, Professor Nelson Torto, on the Ministry’s oversight of tertiary institutions.

The committee lamented that many learners graduate only to discover that their qualifications are not recognised, leaving them unemployable and effectively turning them into "paupers."
