By Zainab Al Nasseri MUSCAT: Dec. 25: The Ministry of Higher Education has updated on its website the list of “recommended institutions” for those planning to study abroad. The Ministry made the announcement after a meeting of the Accreditation of non-Omani Educational Institutions and Qualifications Equivalency Committee. The website contains the list of accredited universities and colleges. It said it will not be held responsible for any degrees obtained from unaccredited institutions.
The meeting recognised the following varsities in Portugal. They are: University of Lisbon, University of Porto, University of Minho, University of Coimbra, University of Aveiro, New University of Lisbon, University of Evora, Catholic University of Portugal, University of the Algarve, Polytechnic Institute of Oporto, University of the Azores, Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, Polytechnic Institute of Setubal, Polytechnic
University of Worcester - St John’s Campus THE University of Worcester has said reports in a national newspaper that there is a ‘culture of exploitation’ after claims lecturers are having numerous affairs with students, is “wholly untrue and utterly without foundation”. The Telegraph ran the story which alleged University of Worcester senior management had “chosen to ignore” reports some of its academic staff have had “repeated affairs” with students and claimed the university’s board of governors had been warned that investigations into “potential grooming and sexual misconduct” by lecturers have been hampered by weak policies on staff-student relationships.
RAINBOW HILL will be a very important seat for Labour to keep hold off next month in what has traditionally been a stronghold for the party. Worcester City Council s deputy leader and Labour group leader Adrian Gregson is up for re-election this time round, having held a seat in Rainbow Hill for nearly 30 years and anything but a smooth victory would be disastrous. The current deputy leader - and former leader of the council - has been successful in defending his place on the council in recent elections gathering 53 per cent and 60 per cent in 2016 and 2012 - 336 votes and 383 votes ahead of the Tories in the respective contests.
