Closed universities seek presidential intervention
Monday, 14 May 2012 08:28 Lagu Francis South Sudan >>> . The Association of the Private Universities on Monday handed a memo to the office of President Salva Kiir Mayardit, urging him to revoke the closure of their universities. The memo called on the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to refrain from using what they refer to as "insulting language" while dealing with private universities and higher institutions of learning. Speaking to Radio Miraya, the Chairman of the Association, Godson Reuben Ladu denied the claim that the students of the private universities are unqualified. "The team went and we saw them the papers, including certificates. Joining high education learning of modern character is not like what happened. "We don't stick back to the traditional process of joining high education after going to P8 then secondary school. In modern world, there are packages that can make one join high learning institution," Ladu argued. Ladu called on the government to create awareness to the public about the significance of the private universities to the development of the country. Last Friday, the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Peter Adwok, ordered the closure of 22 private universities operating in the country for not meeting minimum standards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
