HE commission plans to weed out fake university instructors

The National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) has disclosed plans to begin a credential audit at various universities and colleges across Liberia starting with the University of Liberia and Tubman University that will target, inter alia, fraudulent teaching staff, writes David A Yates for the Liberian Observer.

The plan by NCHE, according to its director-general, Dr Edward Wonkeryor, is geared toward evaluating the country’s “education quality processes” – the key faculty activities required to assess the quality of teaching being provided by universities and college instructors.

Wonkeryor, who is a former president of Tubman University in Maryland County, noted that the commission is concerned about the growing upsurge in educational fraud, which threatens to devalue higher education and undermine academic integrity, as well as harm students and institutional reputations alike. “We still have problems of unqualified people teaching and running our higher education institutions, but we are determined to weed them out,” Wonkeryor said.
