Milan, 13 Nov. (LaPresse) – The Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR), led by Minister Anna Maria Bernini, has asked the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR) to promptly launch an investigation into the way exams are conducted at all online universities. The request follows an investigation launched by the Ministry last October, after the Ministry received reports from online universities regarding the conduct of remote examinations at other institutions. The MUR has therefore formally requested clarification and information from the universities concerned regarding how the examinations were conducted. In light of the evidence gathered, the Ministry has sent a note to ANVUR, urging it to commence verification activities, whilst fully respecting the Agency’s decision-making and operational autonomy. ANVUR, within the scope of its remit, is responsible for assessing the quality of teaching, the organisation of universities and student services. The verification activities may also cover the suitability of examination venues and the methods used to organise and conduct the examinations, as part of the periodic accreditation procedures for universities.
