Fake Degrees Exposed in
Nicaragua
Nicaraguan media
denounced on Tuesday the
scandalous behavior of
several private
education centers in the
country for selling
false diplomas to
foreigners.
The situation was
discovered last Monday
when The New Daily
newspaper has released
selling of 50
certificates by the
Freire Paulo Public
University (UPF) to
Italian citizens who do
not speak Spanish and
had not even studied one
subject in that place,
nor even arrived in
Nicaragua.
When tackling the issue
the Education Minister
Miguel de Castilla
denounced that 169
private academic centres,
including universities,
do the best business of
their lives enrolling
students who do not
fulfill the
requirements.
He emphasized that those
centres cannot be
checked by the Education
Minister so quality is
not provided, opening
the doors to academic
fraud and uncontrolled
fees.
In this respect deputy
Mario Valle President of
the Education Commission
at the National Assembly
called his counterparts
in Parliament to put an
end to this situation so
as to stop handling the
University Autonomy Law. |
