Comment on this
The Universities Act 1997 and the Technological Universities Act 2018 provide higher education institutions with autonomy and responsibility for their day-to-day management and operational/academic affairs. This includes areas such as curriculum development and course content and as such the Department and Minister have no role in these matters.
