Edu Alliance Presenting at the 6th QS-MAPLE Conference

QS Maple UAEU

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Senthil Nathan and I are participating in the 6th QS-MAPLE Conference on May 10-12 at United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain. We will be presenting on the topic,  “Implementing co-curricular outcomes as a win-win proposition”.

The mission of QS-MAPLE is to provide a forum that promotes the development of higher education in the Middle East and North Africa in the global context that stimulates international partnership, and to support the processes of institutional evaluation and upgrading that will lead to greater worldwide recognition of Middle Eastern and North African universities.

The QS-MAPLE conference in Doha in 2015 drew over 300 participants including university leaders, higher education experts, and educators from over 20 countries to advance discussions on the internationalization of higher education in the Middle East and North Africa region.

If You have a Bogus Degree You are Playing with Fire

I would advise anyone who has a degree via the Axact bogus schools to get it off your Cv and Linkedin accounts. In my May 26, 2015 article  “Call for Action: Shut Down Fake Schools”  I presented information which show thousands of individuals from the GCC who publish on their LinkedIn accounts degrees from bogus schools. The article hit a nerve with well over 100,000 views.

In a story posted January 7, 2016 in the Pakistan Press Review “Bacha Khan University: VC, registrar charged with fake degrees from Axact” three senior officials were hired on the basis of a degree from Paramount California University, USA (a bogus school).  Charges are now being filed.

To the thousands who have these false degrees, eliminate them from your publications and Cv’s. You will one day be caught and if so you will be  fired from your job or possibly arrested.  It’s not worth the risk.

You are Playing With Fire!
