The Commission for University Education (CUE) has flagged 15 institutions for offering degree and postgraduate programmes without accreditation, warning students and parents against enrolling in them.
The notice, issued on Tuesday, March 11, in the government publication MyGov, states that these institutions are operating illegally and that their degrees will not be recognised in Kenya.
According to the commission, the flagged universities and colleges are operating without a grant of authority, meaning they lack approval to offer degree programmes or collaborate with accredited institutions.
The announcement comes less than two weeks after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and CUE officials raided Northwestern Christian University's graduation ceremony in Mombasa, citing the institution's lack of accreditation.
