The Independent
Institute of Education says thousands
of students enter private tertiary education institutions every year
increasingly out of choice, but other times because of limited opportunities in
the public sector.
IIE Director Dr
Felicity Coughlan says as prospective students have always done when deciding
on which university to attend, private students must be encouraged to similarly
ensure they entrust the right institution with their higher education.
Coughlan said that
once students know that an institution is registered and is accredited, they
should enquire about the graduation rates, quality of teaching, the nature of
facilities and what the connection between the working world and studying is.
“Quality is just as
important as accreditation and registration; make sure that the value and
quality of what you get once you register matches what you paid and what your
aspirations are” Coughlan added.
