Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Fresh details have emerged over the registration status of Kampala University following a lengthy tussle between the Juba campus and the mother university, a squabble that left over 300 students unable to graduate in June 2022.<\/p>\nThe Deputy Chairperson of the Higher Education Committee at the Reconstituted Transitional Legislative Assembly (TNLA), Zacharia Makuer, was the latest to join the fray, casting doubts on the registration status of the institution.<\/p>\n
Makuer said the college did not have proper documentation, and that the committee had previously urged the management of the institution to have it registered, but all that fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we know is that the university began the registration process but fell short of providing proper information to the ministry of higher education. \u201cKampala University was one of the 20 universities in the country that were closed down by the ministry of higher education years ago,\u201d he Makuer told City Review <\/b>in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n
In June, about 300 South Sudanese students from the Kampala Juba-based university were denied graduation by its purported parent institution in Kampala, Uganda. The administration denied the existence of the Juba Branch.<\/p>\n
Prof Badru Kateregga, the University\u2019s Vice Chancellor wrote to the Principal of the Juba-based in January 2017, stating that the government of South Sudan had demanded $50,000 in registration fees. Kateregga stated that the figure was \u201cunjustifiably exorbitant\u201d.<\/p>\n
He refused to pay.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you go and see the students, come from a particular area and when you ask them to close they feel you are targeting people from a particular region, so it becomes difficult to handle the issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He admits that Kampala University lacked the requirements for registration citing problems with credentials.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo run a university, you must have two to three PhD holders to manage some colleges,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He wondered why Kampala University started with 25 colleges without a single PhD holder.<\/p>\n
Questionable admission<\/b><\/p>\n
Makuer has also raised concern over the manner in which students were admitted to the Juba campus, further adding salt to the injury. In a shocking statement, he said he had witnessed cases of students who had been registered without secondary school certificates.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker said it has become a concern to the legislators as the management of the university is not taking the step to resolve the current impasse.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hearing from the media, we thought this impasse was going to be over soon. We didn\u2019t know it would take this long to resolve the students\u2019 concerns,\u201d Makuer said.<\/p>\n
He said they had advised the Vice Chancellor of Kampala University to approach the Ministry of Education to register and operate under the laws but the University declined to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ministry is trying to establish proper systems so that academic qualifications attained from the university are accepted universally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The legislator hinted that most private education institutions in the country including universities, and primary and secondary schools are giving fake academic certificates to unsuspecting students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe environment in which they operate is not conducive. They have not created an environment for learning. People think there is money in Juba and they want to collect that money from the students and this is where our children are being cheated,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don\u2019t care whether the qualifications they are giving our children will be useful or not, they don\u2019t care.\u201d he lamented<\/p>\n
Makuer said the ministry of higher education can only become effective if the investors and citizens cooperate so that the rules are enforced for the benefit of all stakeholders.<\/p>\n
