University of Dschang: MINESUP halts Ph.D. selection process

The minister of higher education has ordered a temporal suspension of selections into the PhD programmes at the University of Dschang, West region, for the 2023-2024 academic year.

This ministerial decision is in line with a prime ministerial order to see into financial services deployed during PhD training and condemning the pre-financing of defence of June 19, 2023.
