Private universities on the cards

31 Aug 2016

Private educational institutions that offer degrees might soon be able to call themselves universities.

That is if the Higher Education Amendment Bill - now before the National Council of Provinces - is passed. The institutions would also be able to confer professorships, award honorary degrees and use the titles chancellor and vice-chancellor.

Clause 33 of the existing legislation restricts all of these prerogatives to universities which, academic leaders contend, makes other institutions less able to compete with the 26 public universities.

Institutions offering degrees include Monash SA, Varsity College, Milpark Business School, Vega, Afda and St Augustine College of SA.

The schools cater for thousands of students who could not gain entry to universities.

"We are a university in all senses of the word," said Garth Abraham, president and CEO of Johannesburg's St Augustine's, "[But] potential students are often reluctant to register at a college."
