Why are they graduating in the first place? Who is passing these students? Stop passing students who can't show they learned anything, maybe? Novel idea, I know.
It's mostly private institutions passing people because they just care about the money and nothing else.
Those institutions need to lose their accreditation then.
Source? The literal subtitle of the article says it's private and public institutions.
Try reading beyond the subtitle
Middle of the article:
Sooo...
Cherry picking huh? Municipal are the smallest and least funded public universities here, the major institutions are all state and federal level, to be honest I didn't even know there were municipal ones. Reminder that I said 'mostly' not ONLY private institutions.
"It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month."
Not cherry picking, just wasn't aware that municipalities were smaller schools. Our school system here works different. Now I know.
Corruuuuuption!
Americans, pay attention, because this is where you're headed in speed run fashion
I believe we USians invented the model.
