Over its history, the Congolese Higher and University Education has gone through several phases of reform. Despite this, the crisis in which the higher and university education sector is stuck continues to threaten dangerously the future of the nation because of a new fact and little known to the general public, the politicization of public universities of countryside and the instrumentalization of justice in an attempt to prevent the heads of establishments from fully playing their police role of the institution. Ultimately, excellence gave way to mediocrity, the ESU becoming a real place of the upper mafia, with as a consequence the distortion of the Congolese youth by so called professors without any doctoral degree of which the thesis was defended publicly and obtained legally. Faced with these “new plagues”, the challenges to be met are tremendous. Thus, the current study poses the diagnosis and retraces the path to be followed by a member of the scientific and academic staff respectively, within a normative and regulatory framework of Higher and University Education in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On the other side, we show how some politicians got involved in the academic management of the University of Gbado-Lite (considered here as a model system) to make it a private asset at the expense of quality assurance. Thus, the use of the "Congolese diaspora" in order to strengthen research and teaching capacities of our universities has given rise to organized and maintained cheating on a large scale.

Abstract
Over its history, the Congolese Higher and University Education has gone through several phases of reform. Despite this, the crisis in which the higher and university education sector is stuck continues to threaten dangerously the future of the nation because of a new fact and little known to the general public, the politicization of public universities of countryside and the instrumentalization of justice in an attempt to prevent the heads of establishments from fully playing their police role of the institution. Ultimately, excellence gave way to mediocrity, the ESU becoming a real place of the upper mafia, with as a consequence the distortion of the Congolese youth by so called professors without any doctoral degree of which the thesis was defended publicly and obtained legally. Faced with these “new plagues”, the challenges to be met are tremendous. Thus, the current study poses the diagnosis and retraces the path to be followed by a member of the scientific and academic staff respectively, within a normative and regulatory framework of Higher and University Education in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On the other side, we show how some politicians got involved in the academic management of the University of Gbado-Lite (considered here as a model system) to make it a private asset at the expense of quality assurance. Thus, the use of the "Congolese diaspora" in order to strengthen research and teaching capacities of our universities has given rise to organized and maintained cheating on a large scale.

Abstract: (french)
Au cours de son histoire, l’Enseignement Supérieur et Universitaire (ESU) congolais est passé par plusieurs phases de réforme. Malgré cela, la crise dans laquelle le secteur de l’Enseignement Supérieur et Universitaire est englué continue de menacer dangereusement l’avenir de la nation à cause d’un fait nouveau et méconnu du grand public, la politisation des universités publiques de l’arrière-pays et l’instrumentalisation de la justice pour tenter d’empêcher les chefs d’établissements de jouer pleinement leur rôle de police de l’institution. Finalement, l’excellence a laissé la place à la médiocrité, l’ESU devenant un véritable lieu de la haute maffia, avec comme conséquence la déformation de la jeunesse congolaise par des prétendus professeurs sans titres entendu thèse de doctorat, soutenue publiquement et obtenue par voie légale. Face à ces « nouveaux fléaux », les défis à relever sont énormes. Ainsi, la présente étude pose le diagnostic et retrace le parcours à suivre par un membre du personnel scientifique et académique, dans un cadre normatif et réglementaire de l’Enseignement Supérieur et Universitaire en République Démocratique du Congo. Dans un deuxième temps, nous montrons comment certains politiciens se sont mêlés à la gestion académique de l’Université de Gbado-Lite (considérée ici comme système modèle) pour en faire un patrimoine privé au détriment de l’assurance-qualité. Par conséquent, le recours à la « diaspora congolaise » en vue de renforcer les capacités de recherche et d’enseignement de nos universités a donné l’occasion à la tricherie organisée et entretenue à grande échelle.
