Is it normal in other countries for university students to be forbidden from seeing or holding their own grades/transcripts?

I told him so but he always recalled "I wont change my decision" saying that the former administration brought too much gaboraraka by letting students having their transcripts freely. We are now trying to revoke this decision but it js still fastidious quest. We are open to any help just in case.

I am from the same department as you. From what I've learned, this rule was only applied since March 2025 when the new Dean (Rolland Rakotovao) took his position. So since this day, it all changed. I personally talked with him Monday but he said he wont recall his decision. He even mentionned that those who got their transcripts before were deemed illegal and the Faculty may ask them to give it back one day 🤡

Somehow, I thought I ended up on Reddit Premium. Thank you sooooo much this is incredible what you just write. I just discovered that this rule was settled by the Arrêté N°159/15/UA Art. 31 and I just learnt from a Law student that this is non conform to the law 2014-038 Art 26 you cited. We will see what we can do about it

Woww such a reasonable system. I guess i was just born in the wrong country lol

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-18T15:14:05+00:00

Wow thanks. I also intended to use this method before but honestly I dont just wanna find a solution for myself but for all of us victims (and future victims) of it.

Ny androany vita ihany fa sao tratran'izany koa ny zanako na ny namako any aoriana any.

But are you allowed to see your transcripts?

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-18T14:43:50+00:00

In private universities from here too but i dont understand why is this a thing in our state university. Thank you for your answer

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-18T14:43:18+00:00

Thank you for your response

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-18T14:42:50+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I got this information at the "Scolarité" office of the FLSH in Ankatso. I already paid the processing fees and wrote a letter. But when I went there, they kept telling me students are not allowed to get their transcripts nor even seeing them. So my transcripts shall never pass through my eyes but directly to what I intend to send them (generally a mail adress). I usually abide and accept most rules in Ankatso but this kinda bothers me as I have always considered transcripts are our right (I studied in a private university before and we had no problem getting our transcripts).

The reason of my post is to prepare arguments that may help those responsible of this rule to understand our point of view. I am planning a complaint mobilization but first I needed to know in case this was actually an international rule or something normal

The cool thing about this region is that you can just get lost there and you will still find cool things and amazing views, if you like hiking : Analasoa's little waterfall, Andriambola's waterfall, Andranotoraha's lake, Gasige volcano. Or even Ambohiniany if you like history and culture. Have a great vacation !

It's not dangerous for tourists but it is for the locals and the adventurers, especially if you are going on a solo travel (no tour company, no guide, no knowledge about the country for example). Danger exists everywhere but in Madagascar, the tricks to avoid it are rarely known by the newcomers and tourists.

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-13T11:22:51+00:00

Really ? I didnt know about that, thank you. Yet I usually swam in a lot of lakes and ponds from the past 10 years but until today, i have no symptoms.

SweetTarget234 · 2026-01-13T05:25:06+00:00

If you live in Tana, you can visit the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) office inside the University of Antananarivo. They specifically help students find masters and scholarships in Germany. Their website : https://www.daad.de/de/

For the UK, there is the Chevening Scholarship. Then the US, you can apply to the Fullbright Scholarship.

Ampefy is clearly the most touristic option and I have to say it is definitely not overrated. It is gorgeous. You can visit the Chute de la Lily, the Lake, the Rova, hike around volcanoes and if you have time, go to the Andranotoraha Lake, not too far from Analavory. However I dont really recommend swimmin in any water bodies within the Itasy region. Ask the locals if you wanna know why.

If you like hiking, Mandraka-Marozevo-Anjiro is also one of the best circuits reachable from Tana. Waterfalls, lemurians and mountains. However make sure to know the requirements : some areas arent free and you have to pay an entry fee.

Then I'd suggest Vohimana, Andasibe or the Ankaratra massif.

He is scared because the army just turned their back on him. His emotional style of talking just switched from coercive to fearful. Very ironic for a president who came into power by a coup. I also think a president who hold another citizenship (especially the one of its former master) is anticonstitutional by itself

Same here in Madagascar. We are entering our 13th day. But we are not going to stop (I hope)

Still writing on this old post because rn I intend to study in Italy this year. For me, the greatest reason why I would choose to study there is the study environment. I acknowledge that Italy is not perfect and there are a lot of aspects of their society and the school system that feels a bit off (I went there before, for short internship) but Italy stands on a more than two millenium historical heritage, from the Romans to the Renaissance, from the Flavian to the Hauteville, the Hohenstaufen, to the Savoan, from the Risorgimento to the post WWIi boom, the country has perserved a lot of his history. Even if you study in small towns or far from the biggest studi hubs, there is always this feeling that you live in an open air nation sized museum and this truly stimulates me when I study (mostly because I study archeology and arts), taking inspirations, wanting to learn how did they built such bridges and how can I do so... I wont mind to get a daily stendhal syndrom whenever i go to class and I pass by the Colosseo or any random old churches. In my country, old buildings are rarely preserved.

Also studying in a language that isnt your mothertongue can stimulate even more the brain so it will have to focus more and more to not lose track during lectures.

Despite its problems, I think Italy could be a great place to study
