July 2023:
The Vietnamese Intellectual Academy (VIA) – Qibi Montessori Group in Vietnam has used the MACTE logo on their banners and their graduates’ certificates. It was requested that they supply a list of the adult learners who received certificates with the MACTE logo and confirmation they have been reissued without the usage of our logo. We reached out in April with multiple follow-ups, but have not received notification that this has been completed.
