An errant private education institution has been struck off the register here for awarding students with diplomas — even when they didn't attend classes.
According to the Council for Private Education (CPE), the registration of Kings International Business School will be cancelled from May 5 onwards, and will not be allowed to offer and conduct private education courses with immediate effect.
Investigation into feedback received last year revealed evidence that the school had offered and awarded some students with diplomas in maritime studies without requiring class attendance or assessment.
“While the vast majority of private education institutions (PEI) are bona fide education providers, we must continue to be vigilant to guard against such egregious players as what they do cast doubt on the integrity of the qualifications of PEI graduates," says CPE Chief Executive Brandon Lee."It also is unfortunate that some of the students chose to take up KIBS’s offer, instead of reporting them to CPE, implicating genuine students who took lessons in the process."
