Here we go again and again and again………………Just when we are talking about oversupply of medical graduates soon , here comes another medical school. The following advertisement was in The Star yesterday, a new ” so called” university offering medical course in the state of Perak. It seems it is a collaboration between the state government and a private sector. As I said , it is a money-making business and of course it is all about politics in Malaysia. Our entire education system is politicized and screwed to the maximum, education hub it seems! In the same advert, you will notice that this “university” is also offering “Foundation studies”, the most famous course currently in Malaysia which I have blogged in my previous entry. Almost every private college and some public universities are offering these studies as an easier route to do medicine etc. When other countries are moving forward with graduate studies , we seem to be moving backwards , as usual. I even heard that some private colleges are offering a 6 months foundation programme in order to do medicine. There is no standardised Foundation programme like STPM/A Levels/IB etc etc in Malaysia. The curriculum, exams and even the marks are decided by the college itself and of course, your seat is guaranteed!
Welcome to the education hub of SEA!! Malaysia Boleh! Lets see how many graduates are going to be jobless in the near future, in all popular field! We just have too many universities with questionable quality with too little job opportunities. Poor human resource planning. Only the best will survive………………….
