East African universities have to focus on quality if the region is to unlock its socio-economic potential through higher education.

Prof. Mayunga Nkunya, the head of the Inter- University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), warned that institutions of higher learning will be forced out of business if they focus on profit rather than quality.

He said health facilities cannot employ a doctor or nurse who cannot administer an injection or a drip simply because their papers indicate they are professional medical practitioners.

Nkunya was addressing journalists at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel on Monday ahead of the IUCEA annual meeting.

He said education commissions in EAC partner states are responsible for checking the quality of Institutions of higher learning.

Nkunya said Kampala International University (KIU) is being investigated for awarding 45 PhD degrees.

The degrees are mostly being questioned by the Kenyan government.

“That is a matter to be handled by the National Council of Higher Education Uganda. They should also investigate students admitted from Southern Sudan. I am told many of them cannot speak good English” he added.
