KUWAIT: Students at discredited universities to be moved

A Ministry of Education committee formed to look into the suspension of the accreditation of a number of Indian and Filipino universities has reportedly issued a preliminary decision to transfer the students at these institutions to other accredited universities abroad, reports the Kuwait Times.

According to a ministry official, the committee has been discussing the issue of students affected by problem, many of whom had had their graduations delayed due to the withdrawal of accreditation from their places of study. Students who were given official permission to attend the disaccredited universities are eligible by law for compensation and other help - but other students who did not receive prior official permission will not be eligible for assistance.

The ministry is committed to finding a solution for all the affected students, said the official, adding that the committee is set to hold a number of meetings before arriving at a final solution which can be presented to the Minister of Education.
