Complaint: Illegal Courses at Universities - "Abused" Foundation Programs

The Cyprus Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (CYQAA) is reporting the abusive use of English foundation courses at universities as tutoring centers. Foundation courses are intended for students who need to strengthen their English language skills or other academic foundations before starting their university studies. The CYQAA describes this practice as illegal and will inform the relevant authorities. The Ministry of Education states that it has not received any related information and that the inspection of universities is the responsibility of the CYQAA.
