graduate

lack basic knowledge

Why are they graduating in the first place? Who is passing these students? Stop passing students who can’t show they learned anything, maybe? Novel idea, I know.

They… Are? Seems like a lot of people responding aren’t reading the article, so:

  • Brazil is huge, and has the largest public healthcare system in the world.
  • This is the first time they’ve conducted a national test against medical universities
  • They are not punishing students, but the universities, and restricting new enrollment at them

And no, they are not all private institutions.

You’re insinuating I didn’t read the article. 😛 But you’re right, I didn’t, because the statement I was referring to is right in the title.

Hah, yea, they’re in their last year. It doesn’t say how they are going to handle it. This also means there are graduates who would probably fail, too.
