Education ministry defends Limkokwing
MBABANE — The Ministry of Education and Training has come to the defence of the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.
The university’s international accreditation has been questioned by former Senator and businessman Walter Bennett.
Through a statement issued by the Principal Secretary Patrick Muir yesterday, the ministry said Limkokwing was a reputable institution which was recognised worldwide.
"The institution’s aim in Swaziland is to help create a generation of professionals who are global in outlook, highly competent in the use of new technology and innovative problem solvers who will help build Swaziland into a strong healthy nation," reads the statement.
The ministry said Limkokwing was an international institution which did not necessarily have to be linked to South Africa after Bennett had also wondered if the qualifications obtained from Limkokwing were recognised in South Africa.
Bennett had said the university was allegedly under scrutiny in other countries such as Lesotho and Botswana.
The ministry said as an international institution South Africa was one of the countries in the globe of which Limkokwing had not yet done business with.
"Limkokwing was established as a university college in 1991 in Malaysia. It became a university in 2003, and all programmes (degree and post graduate qualifications including PhD programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Authority (MQA)," said the ministry.
The ministry said Limkokwing had other campuses in London, UK, Australia, China, Indonesia, Borneo, Cambodia, Botswana and Lesotho.
"All qualifications are recognised by more than 100 universities in USA, Australia and New Zealand for advanced studying and accreditation and credit transfer," the ministry said.
Lastly, the ministry said in Africa Limkokwing offered courses that lead to degrees in Multimedia, Design, Mass Communication, Architecture and Built Environment. Business Management and Globalisation and ICT which covered areas of public relations and broadcasting among others.
Muir said the education the university provided was specially designed to suit the needs of Swazis which would enable them to venture into new business and expand Swaziland’s economy into new directions.
