The United Kingdom wants Facebook and Google to award to university students.
This was revealed under a proposal which seeks changes to the UKs university education system.
The paper proposes drastic reforms to the current educational setup in United Kingdom universities.
The paper says the government should encourage the setting up of challenger institutions (ie.
education centers that dont fall within the well-established norms).
The report says:
There is no compelling reason for incumbents to be protected from high quality competition.
However as of yet both Facebook and Google have not shown any interest in pursuing academics.
Microsoft has been awarding certification but it is not linked to any university or country.
