English term

diploma mill

GBK English to Serbian Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Definition from Guide to Online Education:
Also called "degree mill." An organization lacking recognition by legitimate accrediting agencies which "awards" academic degrees and diplomas for a flat fee, usually requiring little or no academic study.
Example sentences:
Although many diploma mills claim to be “accredited,” their accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding agency that they created. (Federal Trade Commission)
The terms "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are sometimes improperly treated as synonomous. In fact, there are a wide range of institutions representing themselves as colleges or universities that grant degrees but do not meet New Jersey standards. (NJ Commission on Higher Education)
These "schools" promise a fast and easy road to a degreed job but you can destroy your professional reputation for life by using a degree from a diploma mill, and that "fast and easy road" can lead straight to prison. (Degree Finders)

фабрика диплома

Definition from own experience or research:
„Фабрика диплома“ је установа која у јавности има лош углед, јер се сматра да се дипломе те установе могу добити простом уплатом одређеног новчаног износа, или уз веома поједностављен поступак студирања.
Example sentences:
<i>Naime, primećeno je da je sve više korporacija i firmi koji na svojim internim listama imaju spisak malih <b>fabrika diploma</b>, listu institucija zaduženih za visoko obrazovanje.</i> (ББС Агенција)
Prema predsedniku, novi zakon će omogućiti tranziciju sa sistema prikupljanja informacija na obrazovanje zasnovano na razvoju, obezbediti snažno učešće porodice i lokalnih zajednica u upravljanju školskim životom i uvesti u univerzitete mehanizme kontrole, namenjene sprečavanju takozvanih „<b>fabrika diploma</b>“. (Radio Romania International)
