Minister Don Polye made these known when NBC News asked if any actions were taken following the Prime Minister's directive in Parliament recently regarding the flaws in Online selection.
There was a public outcry after many Grade-12 students around the country missed out on the online selection- even those with good grades did not get any placement in tertiary institutions.
Their concerns reached Parliament and prompted Prime Minister James Marape to call upon the department responsible to review the online selection process.
Minister Polye says the DHERST is currently undergoing many reviews including the Online Application and Selection process.
Polye adds these are done to ensure there is visibility and focus to improve the quality and standard of Higher Education in the country.
