Minister warns students against enrolling in unlicensed universities
October 8, 2011 (JUBA) – The minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Peter Adwok Nyaba, has issued warning against students who enroll in unlicensed private universities in South Sudan.
In a statement read out on South Sudan radio on Saturday, Adwok said such universities should first meet conditions set in the region by the higher education institution in order to qualify to acquire a license.
There are several private foreign universities operating in South Sudan particularly in the current capital, Juba, and enrolling hundreds of students.
Most of such universities have no licenses or buildings from which to operate as campuses. Many of them are renting primary school class rooms as lecture halls.
Adwok explained that these universities were only issued with “no objection letters” so that they could process their establishments by complying and implementing the conditions set, which he said would then allow them to start operating after acquiring licenses.
However, the universities are now operating from their scattered lecture halls in the capital without licenses, presenting risk of non-recognition of certificates acquired from them.

Dear minister, we the South Sudanese know that those private Universities are not registered, but here is a simple question sir.
1-How long are those people interested in building their capacity keep waiting for public Universities to open?
2-you also warn the students not to register in these institutions while registeration is not a problem but illiteracy is a problem and people wanted to learn

To me the minister is not doing his own job by worning the student he would act like a minister. The “no objection letter” was to state clearly whether the university should operate or not it is not amatter of just saying they are illegal, the minister should answer the question of how this universty have started operating there is something the minister is hiding otherwise he would ve closed them

One of the big risks is that this will lower the value and the quality of education in South Sudan.
It will flood the country with useless certificates that will not help individuals or the country.
It is not the students to be blame, it is the government. Government should close those universities that are not recognized to salvage the value of education in south Sudan.

Action speak louder than Sound, Minister has been singing this Song of private Universities. Do something not talking about it for long time. the fact is that a private University which is capable will operate because i don’t see the reason of closing all. People need education and we need strong private Universities in South Sudan.
Useless people human always call helful thing useless.

It is good to find the root cause of why students turn to enrol in private Universities than the singing of the minister of closing them down and monopolizing education will lead to poor quality education in this new Country of ours,eg look at Juba university now the way it is heading to but if there are other competiting Universities students will forget Juba University.

Hon. Minister
Actions sound louder than words.
If you mean your words please substantiate by issuing an order for the closure of all illegally operation Universities. In fact some of us are already bogged down by your usual warnings which only help to strengthen and widen the operation of these academic dwarfs to the detriment of the New Republic.
Time is up please issue an order.
