Singapore's Education Ministry (MOE) has cancelled the registration of a private school that has been investigated for offering fake degrees from a well-known Australian university. It is the first case this year of a school being stripped of its registration by the ministry. MOE said this follows investigations by the secretariat of the pro-tem Council for Private Education (CPE) on Brookes Business School for contraventions of the Education Act.
The school has been accused by its students of peddling fake degrees from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology for as little as S$12,000. MOE told Channel NewsAsia some 400 local and overseas students are affected by the closure. Some have already paid more than S$10,000 in deposits.
