Abu Dhabi - The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR) has stressed its role regarding the issue of adjusting the fees for courses offered by private educational institutions in the country, saying it is only to make sure they commit to what is stated by the institution in its official publications, since it represents a contract between them and the student.
XLRI responds to KT report In response to our report, ‘Training institutes can’t offer degrees: KHDA’ (Feb 9, 2015), XLRI Jamshedpur, in a release said it is in an “exclusive alliance with Allied Institute of Management Studies FZ LLC, (AIMS) Knowledge Village Dubai for offering management education for working professionals and corporates in GCC.” The management institute said the agreement between the two parties clearly mentions the programmes that are being offered in “alliance with AIMS as Certificate Programmes, Management Development Programmes, In-company Programmes and Consultancy Services. “AIMS have obtained the educational permit from KHDA to run the above programmes. All students are registered only to these programmes,” said the release. XLRI India, however does have a provision for eligible participants to enrol for more than one certificate programme for ex-PGP (Part Time) in Business Management (PGDM) within five years with XLRI India. This has approval from the All India Council for Technical Education, the exclusive accreditation body in India. After completing the necessary course work, desertation and XLRI campus component, the participants will be awarded the PGDM (Part Time) by XLRI in Jamshedpur, India. |
Professor Badr Aboul-Ela, Director of the Commission for Academic Accreditation at MOHESR told Dhafra Channel in an interview that education is not a commodity that is bought and sold but a service, the cost of which is set by the institutions according to the cost of the study programmes. The Ministry monitors compliance with what is advertised, and intervenes if there is excessive surcharges, to restore normalcy.
Aboul-Ela pointed out that the cost of the programme is determined by many factors, the most important being the degree granted by the programme (diploma, bachelor, master), the extent of demand, the needs of the labour market, the need for specialty equipment such as laboratories and equipment, plus the cost of bringing faculty from abroad, especially in foreign universities that open a branch in the UAE. The fees reflecting the cost should be posted in admissions and registration offices giving prior knowledge to the students.
Answering a question on how parents can ensure a promising future for their children with acceptable cost, he said higher education in the state has grown considerably both in the programmes offered by governmental, private or foreign universities. This gives higher education in the UAE a strong global competitiveness. The federal and government universities offer all the programmes needed for the labour market and different degrees, and does not charge fees to citizen students, and also sponsors those with special living conditions.
Aboul-Ela stressed the need for students and parents to review the list of private institutions accredited by the ministry, so that they do not register in universities that are not licensed or accredited.
