Excellent Medical Education in Nepal

Some doctors (?), after completing their MBBS, were failed to obtain even 10 marks out of 100 full marks in the Nepal Medical Council's Licensing exam some 10 days ago. As per the provision, a student should score 50 out of 100 marks in the multiple choice questions to be eligible for the license. Only 20 per cent of doctors seeking to get the NMC's license passed the examination to be eligible to involve in the medical profession. In spite of several attempts, many students who studied abroad were unsuccessful in the exam. This shows the poor quality of medical education abroad. Though people are investing a huge sum of money for medical education abroad, the pupils return home country without proper knowledge.

According to Dr Somnath Arjyal, chairman of NMC, more than 90 per cent doctors produced in Nepal pass the licensing exam at their very first attempt. It should be noted that no any student who studied their MBBS in Kazakhstan and Moldova passed the test. But the trend of going there for medical education is increasing these days due to low cost and easy admission. Medical students pass their exams quite easily abroad. A medical student pursuing study in a private college in China never fails in examination after getting admission.It has also been seen that a significant number of doctors couldn't pass the Public Service Examination for entry level government job in medical profession. The data show that 20 per cent of doctors who received NMC license could not score a single mark in PSC's examination.

DESIRABLE WEIGHT OF SCHOOLBAG

Researcher at Bologna University, Italy, found that 36 per cent of students aged 10 to 15 were suffering from back problems attributable to carrying overloaded schoolbags. They fond that the average daily weight of schoolbag was 7.7 Kg.

Now Italy’s MPs have authorised the education ministry to work out on the maximum desirable weight of school bags.

An earlier study by the American Academy of Paediatrics concluded that schoolchildren should not be expected to carry more than 15 per cent of their body weight.

Education Facts

An extra year of education for african girls can increase their eventual wages by 10-20%.
In Africa, children whose mothers who receive five years of primary education are 40% more likely to live beyond the age of five.

The number of out-of-school children in India (6-10 years) decreased by almost 6 million between 2001 and 2003.

57% of the 77 million out of school children are girls.

100 countries now have equal numbers of boys and girls in primary schools, and another 18 are on track to achieve gender parity by 2015.

Every minute an extra 13 children were enrolled in primary education globally between 1991 and 2004.

To reach the goal of full access to primary education 1.6 million teachers need to be hired in Africa alone.

Abolishing school fees for parents in Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya has helped more than 1,000,000 extra children to enrol in primary school, in each country.

There are 94 girls in primary school for every 100 boys up from 92 in 1999.

In Yemen nearly 200,000 more girls started school in 2004 than in 2002.

38 million children do not go to school in Africa.

Between 2000 and 2004 Niger enrolled 400,000 new pupils and recruited more than 10,000 new teachers.

In 1999, over 1,000,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa lost their teachers to AIDS.

Around 1 in 3 of children not in school live in ‘fragile states’ (where the government is either unwilling or unable to deliver services). Many of these states are affected by conflict.

At the current rate of progress, at least 75 countries mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, will not achieve the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015.
