CPUT accreditation crisis deepens

Students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) are demanding answers regarding the accreditation of their dental program, which has been suspended by the South African Dental Technicians Council (SADTC) due to historical failures and infrastructure issues. Previously approved laboratories were shut down last year, and interim facilities used by the university did not meet safety standards. Protests continue as students express frustration over conflicting information about the future of their program.
