The Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education has closed down a fake educational institution in Suez province, known as the "Gloria Nursing Academy (Shamsiya Space)". This move is part of the government's efforts to crack down on unauthorized educational institutions operating in the country. The academy was found to be operating without the necessary licenses and was promoting false credentials to students.
According to the Ministry of Higher Education, the fake academy was advertising diplomas in nursing, claiming to be affiliated with reputable universities and hospitals. The institution was also found to be collecting financial payments from students without proper authorization. The Ministry's Committee for Judicial Control conducted an investigation, which revealed that the academy was operating illegally and making false promises to students.
The closure of the Gloria Nursing Academy is part of a broader effort by the Egyptian government to regulate the education sector and prevent unauthorized institutions from operating.

The Ministry has warned students and their families to be cautious of such institutions and to verify the legitimacy of any educational institution before enrolling. The Ministry's website and social media channels provide a list of approved educational institutions and a blacklist of unauthorized institutions. Students and their families are advised to check these resources to avoid falling prey to fake educational institutions.
The Egyptian government has been taking steps to strengthen regulations and oversight of the education sector. The Ministry of Higher Education has increased the number of members on its Committee for Judicial Control, which is responsible for monitoring and enforcing regulations on educational institutions. This move is aimed at preventing unauthorized institutions from operating and protecting students and their families.

This collaboration is aimed at holding accountable those who seek to exploit students and their families. The government has emphasized its commitment to ensuring that students receive high-quality education from legitimate institutions.
