Universities have been advised to only work with one regulator to guarantee quality and standards of courses taught in the institutions.
University Education PS Simon Nabukwesi said only the Commission for University Education (CUE) is mandated in law to audit and approve courses in universities.
In a statement to vice-chancellors, Nabukwesi said that the court settled the accreditation tiff and cautioned VCs against burdening parents by passing down other accreditation costs from professional bodies.
“I urge all universities to work with one regulator and that is CUE,” said Nabukwesi.
