One way institutions can restrict fake document, is to require that a transcript for the applicant be sent directly to them from the examining body. This is neither far-fetched nor expensive in this digital age. My current employer requested transcript directly from the university I attended. It just cost me US$5. I am pretty sure it will cost less in the Caribbean.

As a matter of fact all those boys from the deserted areas that do not even go to school to write common entrance, now they even have a UG degree.
Maybe we are a country that can do anything because if the auditor general wants to investigate the Ministry of Health and there is a fire with no major investigation we need to be concerned.

Note well my friends, this is not the first time we have such a situation regarding this same ministry………

Skeleton,

Stop this crap. Dont you know what is a crime. Well, it is a crime to make fake copies of any document and present as authentic. The crime is call forgery. This is why this country continues to go under with comments like this. SN: this is a post you should have deleted.

God Help me. I know one person with a Fake UG Degree Certificate here in the states and believe me he doesn’t and didn’t need it. He has a Diploma from the University and went to a college here in the states and now have a Bachelors but still continue to put his fake ass UG Degree on his resume and you know where he got it from? The Document is not fake but he never did the program.

Now when sh*t like this continues to happen, Skeleton you know whats is going to happen with the people who struggle to get theirs right. Especially those of us who degree(s) got us good jobs.

S-I-T-C, other than by hearsay, can you confirm by direct evidence what you’ve just said? News reports? Official releases?

Some genuine UG graduates are being forced to secure forgeries because they were told that no certificates can be issued to them because all the relevant records were destroyed in the great flood of 2005. So faced with a dire situation like that, you tell me what are those persons supposed to do?

Forgery – gives new meaning to the phrase “by any means necessary.”

” Persico said another option was for employers to approach CXC
headquarters for a certifying statement which costs BB$20. “So my
advice is to let prospective employees apply for the certifying
statement, so there is no middle person involved,” she said”
++++++++++++++++++++
Comments like this only get my anger up.
Why go outside when the Ministry is there at home and should be able
to provide the necessary assistance? The usual passing of the buck.

Now every time an employee seeks a job, that person have to go
through the ‘certifying statement’ process request?

Lawd! such backwardness!

Revise your history and see when all of this started.
It was under the PNC rule.

Fake UG and Burrowes Art School diplomas were indeed being tendered in the islands a while back. A ‘teacher’ who, to my knowledge had not attended UG, produced a computer science diploma and secured a job! That’s nothing new.

ARMY OFFICIALS SHOULD INVESTIGATE CADETS WHO WERE RECRUITED THE LAST FIVE YEARS. I AM SURE U WILL FIND FORGED CERTIFICATES THAT ARE STILL IN THE SYSTEM AND ARE WORKING, DO IT.

I have been in the education business for nearly 35 years and it is only recently I have been hearing about forgeries of CXC, GCE, U.G and GTI certificates.
People in the good old days never thought of forging any educational certificates.
Either technology has influenced these forgers or the corrupt system that exist in Guyana.
It is rumoured that people close to the Government are getting high paying positions with fraudulent UG degrees.
No wonder the US embassy do not want to see any document from visa applicants.

After so many years of colonial rule, we were given the template from which to operate. When you study African history – very similar to ours- the British did not trust the system so they monitored the examinations. We have grown locally, regionally and instituted our very own examination but look at what cost. A few rotten oranges will bring scrutiny on an entire nation. Corruption once in effect will continue to rare its ugly head in every corner, sector and facet of life of the Guyanese people. What is real in Guyana, what is true????

There was a time in Guyana when an incident of this nature brought shame and disgrace to the entire family. The end of this era has made Guyana worse and now corruption is as acceptable, pervasive and reliable as the sun rising in the east each morning. It’s not difficult to cultivate this mindset when the citizenry observes the ruling class enjoying the excesses of splendour and luxury that far exceed their declared salaries. Now the rot has infected the selection process for army recruits. It’s quite understandable and reasonable for the U.S. government to highly suspect any document or statement made at Visa interrogations. The stench is overbearing and we must always remember fish starts rotting from the head.

CXC needs to have a barcode on their certificate so it can be easily verify whether it is good or fake.there should be a probe in the entire caribbean not only in guyana.

The stricter the government the wiser the population.b There are certain things we cannot avoid because these things happens right in the Ministry of Education. It’s all about money, if you have then you will get what u want. I would still love for the authorities to check into the scam that is going on with some of the employees at NCN, all those who have fake University of Guyana diplomas and certificates.
