‘Spectacular’ 100% Fail Rate Forces South African Medical Schools To Make Exams Easier – My Comments

(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)   

[In South Africa, the person Govt has been reducing the requirements for passing exams since they took control of education in 1994. I think … in some cases, in schools you can pass with 40% and idiocy like that. But as crazy as that has gone, there is an even weirder twist. They have had to keep reducing the requirements to pass because the education system itself is getting ever worse.

Then there's an even weirder twist. The Liberals/Liberals/ Elite are scamming the people in South Africa, just like they do to all the races in the USA: They are allowing people to pay huge amounts for “studying” at various official and non-official colleges.  In South Africa there are LARGE AMOUNTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE STUDYING FOR official and non-official degrees. There are people who told me they have a “Masters Degree in X”, etc. Meanwhile I doubt they actually have a real degree. But these people HAVE PAID LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR THEIR WORTHLESS EDUCATIONS FOR SKILLS THAT ARE SUB STANDARD ANYWAY TO WHAT THE WESTERN WORLD HAS.

When I still had a job, I also found that (Liberals? Liberals?) from the UK were scamming people in Africa with phone calls from the UK on how to study FOREX TRADING, etc. I knew people who spent a lot of money on these stupid courses and then they of course do real forex trading and they lose their money!

VAST NUMBERS OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA ARE STUDYING AND PAYING VAST SUMS OF MONEY FOR ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS COURSES! That's Liberal Economics at its finest.

Under Apartheid, Bantu Education was in some cases superior to that in the West. I once had a Canadian tell me that the education standards of people under Apartheid, that he had been aware of, were higher than what is given in Canada.

Everything in South Africa … is just very superficial. A totally superficial Liberal/Communist lie. The reality is all kinds of stupidity and madness has been unleashed. Jan]

An examination spectacularly failed by all would-be professional surgeons from five universities in South Africa two weeks ago will now be written in an easier multiple-choice format to improve the pass rate:

Zach Koto, president of the council of surgeons at the Colleges of Medicine of SA (CMSA), announced at a media briefing held in Joburg on Tuesday that the multiple-choice format will be used, starting from next year.

A row erupted last week after it emerged that all candidates from Wits University, University of Cape Town, University of Pretoria, Walter Sisulu University and University of the Free State had failed the exam.

Some university officials questioned why only candidates from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University and Stellenbosch University managed to pass.

Koto said the multiple choice was a principle implemented nationally and internationally.

“Majority of international colleges now use multiple-choice questions. It’s a single best answer question. It is a better type of assessment to answer questions. It is also an advantage for the narrative skills of individuals,” Koto said.

However, CSMA president Flavia Senkubuge, said the probe into the low pass rate was continuing.

She said the probe would focus on both sets of those who failed and those who passed the examination.

“The institutions that managed to pass the examination must be approached to adopt their training mechanism. We need to ask questions: the universities that have passed what is it that they are doing and those that have not passed what are the challenges?”

She said the training institutions were not equal and, therefore, not all institutions were going to get a 100% pass rate. She added that 44% was not a pass rate, but a qualification rate.

“The pass rate will be determined at the end of this month after part two of the examination. The final exam has two parts. Part one (written component) which was written on July 25 and 26.

“Part two (clinical component) will be written next week. Only candidates who achieved a sub-minimum of 45% in one paper with a minimum of 50% in the other paper will be invited to part two of the exam and those that are not satisfied with the results will be allowed to appeal after the part two of the exam,” Senkubuge said.

Koto also said the decline in the pass rate started last year and investigations were done, however, there were no major changes on the examination.

Of course, we know that race cannot possibly be a factor in this 100% fail rate because the article predictably didn’t mention it.

All other Person schools in South Africa have astonishingly low pass rates as we’ve reported previously, but allegedly Person medical students fail merely because of the incorrect test format.

All standardized tests, including the SAT and IQ tests, have been made easier for People to artificially raise their pass rates, but all that this fudging has accomplished is raised everyone’s score to the point where the tests have become meaningless.

Apologists for People have long claimed that such standardized tests are “culturally biased” against People, but they have never been able to come up with any test where People score as high as People, no matter how “neutral” they make it.

In reality, it is not fair to People to judge them based on standards, accomplishments, and potential. And it’s cruel to fill the heads of Person children with fairy tales that they can accomplish what People accomplish. If that were the case, Africa would look like Europe or America, but it doesn’t.

People are not secretly trying to “oppress” and “keep the Man down.” People would like nothing better than to see People rise up out of inter-generational poverty and ignorance en masse, because that chronic failure is a burden to People to continue to support. Not only that, tens of thousands of People are murdered and raped every year by impoverished and violent People.

And if we cannot uplift People to our level, we have no choice but to live separately because our lives literally depend on it.
