With matric results released and rewrite registrations under way, January and February have become prime recruitment periods for fly-by-night colleges and illegal matric rewrite centres targeting desperate learners across SA.
The South African Qualifications Authority SAQA has warned learners and parents to exercise extreme caution and to verify not only the institution they plan to enrol at, but also the qualification being offered.
SAQA spokesperson and chief operating officer Dr Makhapa Makhafola said many learners are misled into believing that institutional registration alone guarantees legitimacy.
