Students who’ve been negatively impacted by Educor’s deregistration can claim their hard-earned money back,
according to a consumer law expert. Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande announced the deregistration of four Educor institutions on Tuesday. City Varsity, Damelin, Icesa City Campus and Lyceum College were stripped of accreditation for their failure
to submit annual financial statements and tax clearance certificates for 2021 and 2022. While the institutions will be granted a phase-out period to allow students in the ‘pipeline’ to complete their studies, the move has left thousands stressed out over their
academic future.
