Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 103
Paragraph
Paragraph text
A regulatory framework is necessary since an unregulated free market in higher education may lead to investments in the sector by low-quality providers. Governments must regulate fraudulent practices and ensure that fake degrees are not awarded. A regulatory framework is thus of critical importance in setting out responsibilities and accountability requirements. Regulations must reflect a broad humanistic notion of education and ensure that the digitization of education is subservient to public interest.
