OndoreBrazil shocked to find that 13,000 students about to graduate from medical school lack basic knowledge to practice medicine
It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month.
How can you charge so much compared to their minimum wage and still be so bad?
Trust fund babies. Just like here.
☂️-not at all. this is how private education costs in brazil. most students go in debt to do it.
the trust fund babies are actually in public university, because they had the better education to pass the hard exams in the first place.
this, 100% correct, I am a brazillian
I have somehow managed to get in a prestigeous a public university in one of the most best campus they have, (though unfortanely in a course that I hate and didnt want to get) and this is genuinely as someone that comes from a self subsistance farmer family the first time I have seen macbooks and ipads in my life (they are seen as status symbols here)
there are state mandated quotas of slots designated exclusively to students that have studied in public highschools and for black or mixed students, inclusion programs for low income students that provide up to half a minimum wage, housing and free food
it is common to say that public universities here are for the rich because, for the most part they are, even with all the support poorer students get, they are still a minority, you will see expensive cars roaming arround in the campus being driven by people who clearly got the drivers license yesterday and dont know what fuck theybare doing, and rich kids outright paying to get help cheating in tests
