The Maldives Qualifications Authority (MQA) is urging students to verify the approval status of any higher education or training program before enrolling. The call comes amid a surge in institutions promoting their courses on social media.

MQA officials have noted that many institutions are actively advertising their programs online. However, they emphasize the importance of ensuring that these courses are officially approved by the MQA to avoid potential issues with program recognition and quality.

Students are advised to check the MQA website for a list of approved programs and other relevant information. This measure is intended to protect students from enrolling in unverified programs and ensure that their qualifications meet recognized standards.
