this is NOTHING to do with money or wealth......
there IS a difference between developed economies, and 3rd world, in many things, not least the way doctors are trained......
there is a significant difference between how selection, and training of future doctors are done.....
in the developing world, money WILL get you into medical school, just look at msia.....as ethincity....
in developed economies, because education is state funded, citizens pay little fees, and even that is deferred as loans, to be paid when you start working......so EVERYBODY can enter uni, if they want and qualify........selection into med schools is then purely on merit, based on a combination of applitude (various tests eg isat, umat, pqa etc), interview, and academic results.......MONEY will NOT get you in, if you don't qualify......
so which is the fairer system?.......you tell me.......
you are identifying the deficiencies of the msian system , and blaming the 1st world for charging high fees.....if msia med schools are as good quality, selected on merit, do you think people will want to spend a fortune overseas.......??these high quality education you get in good 1st world countries, they do NOT have give you an education, you are a foreigner, but since you want, they will charge you the FULL cost of that education......
the basis of all the problems we are facing in education, is the FAILURE of our own education system......
Well i do agree with the fact we are facing an education system dilemma, malaysia seriously has problems regarding education system, the quota nonsense and all. But at the end of the day, all these problems are caused by the irresponsible government and politicians..the consequences of these problems =students are forced to settle for something they are not interested in, deprived of higher education or either they have to settle for what ever best they can get. So, at the end the victims here are us the students. Thus, is it right for us to be punished and reffered to as the lower ones just because we had to settle for unis that some might consider not high in standard? Does it mean that if the malaysian education system is screwed up, all Malaysian students studying locally or in other cheaper unis are also not capable of being a good doctor, engineer, scientist and etc? Aren't we or weren't we forced to comply to circumstances? By taunting n insulting malaysian grads from ipta or ipts, are we going to get anywhere? Are we, the students , to be blamed for the education system in Malaysia today? By downgrading us, does it make any difference to the current status or future beings of Malaysian students or the education system itself? Or what is it that u suggest the poor, unlucky but smart students to do other than trying to ease the burden of their parents by joining the ipta's or ipts's/
Isnt it better for us to encourage the Malaysian students, keep them(or us) motivated,, make us feel and think that we are on par with others globally, so that we can actually succeed to our level best? By downgrading us, it only makes things more difficult and impossible...An university's ranking alone doesnt make a student a great person in future...its the student themselves who can build their knowledge, and last but not least, results isnt everything...What is important, is that we work hard, broaden our spectrum of knowledge by our own effort and THINK!
