Official defends education quality in Bahrain
- Bahrain: Tuesday, February 12 - 2008 at 07:49
Bahrain's head of higher education has rejected claims that the status of private universities in the country was below international standards, attributing the non-accreditation of some of their degrees in Gulf countries to 'commercial competition', reported Gulf News. Dr Alawi Al Hashemi said Bahrain's recent status as a private education hub has generated a 'high level of competition with universities in other countries'. Many new private universities sprouted up in Bahrain in the last four years, but some critics claimed that some of them were 'purely commercially motivated and had no respect for international academic standards.'
