Motivation
In February 2020, the Council of Higher Education
in Egypt expelled 177 students who had been
admitted to private universities with forged
local, Arab and international certificates, and
the Council decided to refer these students to the
Public Prosecution to take the necessary legal
measures as a punishment for the crime they
committed in providing forged certificates to
obtain seats they did not deserve at a number of
private universities.
