Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania
Commission for Universities (TCU) has ordered the Kampala International
University (KIU), Dar es Salaam Constituent College, to stop offering
Master’s and Doctorate courses.
TCU said decision has been taken because KIU does
not meet requirements to offer the courses. In an unsigned statement
issued yesterday, the TCU executive secretary, Prof Sifuni Mchome, said
KIU is offering the courses contrary to regulations as it lacks
qualified teachers for the programmes.
“Despite the fact that KIU is an institution
registered by TCU to offer graduate and diploma programmes in Tanzania,
it does not meet the conditions that enable it to offer postgraduate
courses. We therefore order the institution to stop immediately offering
such courses,” the statement reads in part.
TCU advised KIU to work together with students to
facilitate smooth transfer to other universities to continue with
studies. If the university continues to offer the courses, TCU warned
that it will not accredit the certificates of students.
TCU said, however, that the institution is still
sanctioned to offer undergraduate, diploma and other courses recognised
by the commission.
