Wana UDASA,
Katika pitapita zango kwenye mtandao nimekuta habari ambayo kwa ufupi tu
inaarifu kuwa chuo kikuu cha "Kampala International (KIU)" hakitambuliki
nchini Kenya.
Nimeangalia tovuti ya TCU naona hawa jamaa wanatambulika hapa Tanzania na
wanajiita Kampala International University Dar es Salaam College (KIUDC).
Sidhani niko katika nafasi nzuri kwa sasa kuzungumzia ubora wa vyuo vikuu
nchini (kikiwemo CKD) ila habari kama hizi toka kwa majirani zetu ni
kengele ya ishara kwa TCU kuwa macho/makini juu ya yale yanayojiri katika
vyuo vyetu hivi ama sisi kuwa macho juu ya TCU na utendaji wake.
Wasalaam,
RN

Walioshindwa kufungua "link" habari hii hapa chini kwa mujibu wa Gazeti la
Daily Nation, 22 Nov 2012
One of the most popular universities in East Africa is not accredited,
according to the Commission for Higher Education (CHE).
This means that thousands of Kenyans who graduated from Kampala
International University (KIU) in the last ten years or so were awarded
qualifications not recognised in Kenya.
Three of the applicants for the posts of Inspector-General of Police and
deputies were disqualified because their certificates from KIU were not
recognised by CHE.
This is a cause for alarm. The institution is not chartered and therefore
any papers from KIU cannot be recognised in Kenya, CHE Chief Executive
David Some told the Nation on Wednesday in an interview.
When students graduate from KIU, the commission cannot undertake
equation for qualification of their papers, meaning that they are not
qualified according to the Kenyan standards, he added.
Prof Some spoke days after Ugandan authorities directed KIU to stop
awarding 42 PhD degrees, saying it lacked capacity to mount the courses.

The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) of Uganda stopped KIU
from awarding the PhDs on the eve of its graduation ceremony until they
were verified. Of the 42, officials said 30 were to be awarded to Kenyan
students.
The New Vision of Uganda reported that the PhD students were about to
graduate when NCHE said the institution did not have the capacity to pass
out such degrees.
NCHE Executive Director A B K Kasozi is reported to have written to the
office of the universitys vice-chancellor stopping the graduation.
Prof Kasozi set out conditions for KIU to beat before the 42 PhD students
can be allowed to graduate, which included submission of the external
examiners reports on each of the students, the period each student had
taken to complete the programme and the list of external and internal
examiners.
Prof Some said Kenyans need to do background checks before they enrol in
the institutions
