Concern that an increasing number of overseas institutions award fake university degrees has prompted the Education, Science and Technology Ministry to investigate whether any faculty members at universities nationwide have obtained such bogus diplomas.
The ministry hopes to make its report public by autumn this year.
The institutions in question reportedly grant fake doctorates and other university degrees, although they do not actually engage in educational activities.
The education ministry suspects that organizations registered in Australia, Britain, China and the United States have issued degrees without being accredited in these countries.
