'Unfortunately, unscrupulous institutions exploit students’ aspirations, wasting their time and resources,' says Higher Education Deputy Minister Gondwe.Deputy Minister of Higher Education Dr Mimmy Gondwe warned parents and students on Wednesday to be on the lookout for bogus and illegal private colleges.
According to the ministry, after taking a walkabout in Braamfontein, in Johannesburg, to inspect whether colleges were compliant, Gondwe was satisfied that they were. However, she could not access one institution which was closed at the time.Gondwe highlighted several key indicators the public could use to tell whether the college was legitimate or not.
“Unfortunately, unscrupulous institutions exploit students’ aspirations, wasting their time and resources while providing unrecognised qualifications that hinder employment opportunities. Is your desired qualification listed on the certificate? Verify that the college is authorised to offer your chosen course.
Is the campus suitable for education and training? Ensure the college’s facilities meet your needs and expectations.
