The authorities in Guinea
have said there are more than 47,000 fake students registered in the country's
universities.
BBC
News report continues:
The
figures were published on Thursday by the Minister of Higher Education after a
process of biometric registration, which weeded out non-existent students.
The
Guinean authorities grant subsidies to universities based on their number of
students.
Correspondents
say most public universities are full and the subsidies are intended to
stimulate expansion at private institutions.
However,
some of the private universities responded by faking student registrations in
order to obtain larger subsidies.
There was no immediate word on how the government would respond to the revelations.
