Minister Buti Manamela just dropped another deregistration notice on Damelin, City Varsity, and ICESA City Campus after the Educor-owned schools kept missing deadlines for their annual reports and financial paperwork. The three private colleges are getting threatened with shutdown barely nine months after clawing their way back to full registration status, and thousands of students are sweating about whether their degrees will even count or if they will need to scramble for transfers. The whole mess circles back to the same compliance issues that got them axed before, like skipping audited statements and tax certificates.
The department keeps saying the schools had multiple extensions to get their act together, but they still failed to submit basic documentation proving financial stability. Past drama saw staff going months without paychecks while students complained about unqualified lecturers and random campus closures, and everyone figured the March reinstatement meant things were finally stable. Affected families are being told to grab transcripts and start looking at backup options since the colleges have limited time to fix their problems before the phase-out process kicks in for real.
