Regulatory burden threatens to push private colleges out of market

Private higher education institutions are warning that tighter licensing rules, rising compliance costs and a mandatory profit-reinvestment requirement could weaken their financial sustainability, discourage investment and threaten the sector’s long-term viability.

The concerns centre on the Education and Training Authority’s Licensing and Re-Registration Directive No. 988/2024, which introduced stricter licensing requirements and quality standards for higher education institutions. While stakeholders acknowledge the need to maintain academic standards and protect students, they argue that some requirements are difficult to meet within the prescribed timeframes and could constrain the sector’s growth. Private institutions have called on the government, the Education and Training Authority and the Ministry of...
