Why don't you put a minimum standards for entering to parliament

BUSHEL Wednesday, 13 December 2017 08:59 PM

Mi nimum standard for that is ability in three areas. Conection with underworld, ability to steal tax payers money and escape from law.

What a vice decision? In the future we might see a lot of doctors practice under the trees near hospitals.

Lokka Wednesday, 13 December 2017 07:22 PM

More doctors means better care for patients.

Cabinet approves minimum marks as they are not educated enough to understand the standard marks.

Government should take its hands off from higher education. Even in India only school education upto grade 10 is free. Beyond that they are on their own. The government supports by way of low cost student loans and thats it.

Do you mean, all these doctors who pass out with public funds will have to pay for their own studies? WOW! we will see less strikes and more work, but we will also see more private hospitals as in India.

Mohamed Ashan Wednesday, 13 December 2017 09:39 PM

Why the same government can not set minimum qualifications for those who get elected to parliament??-Then the most of the problems in our country will solve-

Time to quit my job and do the AL again in science stream this time

You did not understand the issue, it is not that everybody who has this minimum qualification to get selected for Medical Faculty. It is on the preference of grading.

Mo77 Thursday, 14 December 2017 09:31 AM

Most people who wrote the comments here do not know previous minimum requirement for medical faculty. It was 3 simple pass in the GCE A/L for Chemistry, Physics and Biology in one sitting. According to new minimum qualification for entry into medical education, no one can enter state medical faculty with 3 simple pass in the GCE A/L.
