So your degree is invalid." When I asked "Do you have the list of institutes accredited by MOE?" I got a simple reply "You can checked on-line through this website (NOT MOE AFFILIATED OR 'MADE' BY MOE.) What is the objective behind all this accreditation thing? Is it to balance the number of graduates overseas and locals? Just because one's university was not accredited does not mean that what you have learnt is totally invalid and worst of all, being degraded. I've been through all the hassles with this and I've been degraded to HND (I went overseas BEFORE this committee was established.) It was devastating. I'am wondering how MOE measures the validity of a degree programme overseas without sending its representatives, just by reading though its on-line brochures? Or going though the hierarchy of the top 10 univesities of each country? To be fair, how about those expats who worked in Brunei (Teachers, Medical Doctors, Engineers, Etc.) Do they have to pass through the accreditation process? If not or they are being exempted, then its a BIAS situation. - PitBull Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:48:49 +0100
