Panic after Gretsa University speaks of Joho’s controversial degree shortly after Matiangi’s directive. Will he be deregistered??
Panic has engulfed the whole country and this after Matiangi released an audit that might as well throw the whole of Kenya’s University’s education in total delirium.
The audit which was released yesterday, Thursday, 16th Feb exposed the rot in universities where students and institutions conspire to go round the set standards of quality.
As part of the remedial action and to restore credibility to the country’s higher education system, many degrees are set to be recalled. To further stop the rot, the report has outlined serious measures including scrapping of the school-based programmes. This is a blow to thousands of teachers who attend university classes during school holidays.
“All academic programmes under school-based programme or any other related names are stopped forthwith. Students on school based mode shall be required to continue training on part-time basis,” reads the report.
And not only that, all executive degrees have been suspended and individuals who graduated from such programmes will have their papers recalled.
Now in the midst of this conundrum lays Joho whose University degree has always been the subject of discussion. Will he also get deregistered? His University, Gretsa has finally spoken and indeed certified that he’s fully qualified.
He was on a long-distance programme since 2014 and graduated having satisfied the board of examiners and University senate,” the vice chancellor Kuria Thuo told the Star.
With that I guess we can all take a walk; no story here!
