Malawi College of Accountancy (MCA) has maintained that the college offers a good learning environment and its degrees meet minimum requirements.
This follows the decision by the National Council of Higher Education not to accredit MCA degree programmes saying the college does not provide a satisfactory teaching and learning environment. NCHE also observed that the degree programmes need reviewing to meet standards.
This has caused panic among students at the college but MCA management has urged the students to calm down saying the college has confidence in its degree programmes.
According to a press release signed by college principal Aggripah Phiri, the college has asked students to be calm since due process is being followed.
“Following the release of the report which unfortunately is done simultaneously to institutions and the public, before the affected institutions have had a chance to respond, the college has submitted its position to the council,” reads part of the statement.
“We would like to ask students and other stakeholders to be patient as the due process is being followed,” the statement adds.
The stir has come in following the press release on 17th November by NCHE, a domestic tertiary education regulator, which blacklisted some institutions of tertiary education.
Other institutions which have suffered the same fate as MCA’s include Blantyre International University (BIU), Skyway University (SU), Exploits University and the African Bible College (ABC).

Ithink we are mixing things here. NCHE is there to regurate, facilitate for good output in our colleges. It doesnt matter whelther its the gvt or pvt owned colleges or universities.Shortcuts, business as usual, tribalism leakage of exam, cheating all these have killed the industry.. Today kuwona graduate mmene akuganizira mkuchita zinthu zake u wonder which council approved this degree??, Some Lectures are buzy sleeping with young girls in exchange for exams, very bad!, We need Reform even at UNIMA,, its atotal mess, The crop these universities are deploying on the market its becoming questionable eachday passing. Half baked!. To me Iquite agree with NCHEs decision next time extend this gesture to Public institions…. Othewise the private colleges hv messed up our minds already. Kungoti ambiri akudabwa because sizinachitikepo mbuyomu but its awelcome development.. kuno ku malawi akangotchula kuti college xxxx is Internationally bla, bla bla … ife mtima khanyu… pamene kwaoko ndi ma community college.. .. Lero degree Bola mthumba…. uyipeza.. verybad!.. We cant develop as anation if we continue absorbing these degrees with no value..
Mutharika its aproblem
Dziko liri mmanja meagalu kkkkkkk kwaonse amend muli ndi ma degrees from mentioned school just know you are equal to form four graduate.kkkkkkk munthalika sadzatheka
Thus vicious politics
NCHE also need to be acredited as well bcoz they are misleading the nation
Kkkkk masukulu opita kumaona
True
Its realy sad that malawians of this generation ‘ve developed a strange n stinking atitude,slowly we are heading to a big shame,we like a cursed nation,we are politicising everything untill we are no longer heard each other we are building less n distructing huge we are no longer united as one like before these are just de fruts of bad politics, MCA has been there for decades n nothing bad like this shit heard out from there, this NCHE is just another mad dog an enemy of progress,the assesment of this NCHE is based on distruction nothing else bt ufiti.
Its a work up call for those that are running these institutions.
Ayambe kufufuzidwa athu andarewa coz muthu kungosesa munseu basi degree yaipeza xul yake amaphunzira kuti????
Hahahaha now ur talking….even our Princo yesterday sheded more light on this….there is some sought of “politics” at NCHE thats why they want to turnish our image
Kodi mmene ma college WA amayamba, mpaka ma degree kupelekedwa, iwowa analikuti awa a NCHE anali kuti?
ma Degree anayamba kuphwekadi.
I am not a LAWYER nor aspire to be one and i need clarification in my argument i am stipulating below!
MCA is a statutory CORP which abides to carry out duties as what the ACT OF PARLIAMENT says and how it was drafted prior before establishment.Ironically MCA was not offering Bachelors under its on BANNA of being a college. All in the blues MCA started offering Bachelors Degrees as it was a hot business in town craving and milking PENNIES from prospective students in form of tuition as their UNACCREDIATED counterparts the likes of BIU.My centre of argument is i never heard parliament tabling a bill involving amendment of the act of parliament regarding duties MCA is to dispatch to the public.I never heard the parliament making a UNIVERSITY COUNCIL towards the so called college issuing Degrees as it was the case with NRC.so even if MCA draggs NCHE to court i think they can be light in their tunnel. I think the ADMINISTRATION of the college didnt have power to implement the so called degrees above the ACT OF PARLIAMENT since its a public entity! #just my views
Kodi who owns mca ithought its agovernment institution somebody tell me ndipo kupanga accredit amapanga every year? nde munthu wapanga wajoina this year atapanga accredit then next year anene zoti its not accredited koma we are in total mess kumeneku kuyendetsa maphunziro kapena kuphwasula maphunziro ambuye atithandize sure.
Zikanganani kodi pamalawi pano chilipo chikuenda?
somehow sivuto la ma colleges,how come kuti MCA and other colleges akakhale organised as it needed Uni education to be while our government through Ministry of Education is not organised 2,,,Mwana mbuu make mbuu,,if our education sector officials are realy know what they hav to do ,ma colleges ena like skyway samayenela kuwalekelera ali pamalo pamene paja.the problem is mw has just rise ,nde dont worry this era is for transformation leaders,you know ppo hate change ,they fight change why,fear of losing their identity,posts and so on.but trust me if Nche wanna continue to pressure these ppo our education can change.and privates themselves might have develop strength ayd many malawians will start to rely on also privates colleges and university like the way secondary is now.
