War on certificate fraud can only be won by VERIFICATION

In a recent survey conducted by the U.K. National Information Centre (U.K. ENIC) for global qualifications and skills, 75 per cent of university admissions staff reported that they “did not feel confident” in spotting fake qualification documents without assistance. The same survey stated that 14 per cent of institutions did not verify overseas documents at all.
“We do see [fraudulent documents] from certain countries,” says Ms. Wenger. “But no country is immune to the problem. That’s why we developed a program that helps train people on how to evaluate documents correctly, in the U.S. and abroad.” Culled from University affairs.
