The affected colleges were found wanting in these areas;
1. they admitted mostly international students,
2. they charged unusually low fees which were clearly inadequate to provide for the delivery of a high quality education,
3. the programmes they offered were not accredited by Irish awarding bodies and
4. they operated without adequate learner protection arrangements and in particular, without any provisions to protect students financially in the event of school closure.
They were also accused of only seeking to provide "rogue students" access to the Irish job market, using education as a cover.
In view of the above, I advice that students who wish to study in Ireland should check the Irish government's Interim List of
Eligible Programmes (ILEP) and as we say in Nigeria,
"Shine your eyes"
Even Ireland is hanging shoulder for international student? Name wao.
ReplyDeleteVery soon Ghana will ban Nigerian students. Meanwhile our leaders are busy fighting for lucrative positions.
ReplyDeleteYou really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I wuld never understand.

Dear Anonymous, thanks for your comment.
DeleteThe hang of it is that Irish government is trying to sanitize their education sector by black listing all unaccredited Further & Higher Education colleges.
Most of these colleges charge very low fees which make them very attractive to foreign students.
The resultant effect of the closure is that a lot of students were displaced, including a lot of Nigerian students.Therefore, it is wise for any student intending to study in Ireland to check the list of Irish government's accredited schools before applying, because there are still some unaccredited schools operating in Ireland. It usually takes some time before all unaccredited schools can be closed.
I hope this is helpful.
