Increasing the number of students at Medical Faculty (Video)

In the General Medicine programme at the Faculty of Medicine, only 150 have been accepted. Outside the entry lists have even remained candidates for students in the Stomatology programme, despite meeting the competition criteria. Some of these young people have protested before the Rectorate, demanding increased student numbers in these areas. But leaders of the University of Pristina stress that increasing the number of students does not apply.

Ilirjana Hoxhaj in the state-run prom test has managed to score 147 points, as well as the receiving exam at the Faculty of Medicine at the General Medicine Programme has reached 20 points, but despite good results it has been left off the list of students accepted in Medicine, with the reason that the pre-fulfilled number by the Rectorate and the Ministry of Education has been completed.

Ilirjana shows that she was able to prepare the receiving exam in Medicine and spend her materials for eight months in a row from 70 euros per course in biology and chemistry courses she was not rewarded, even though she met any criteria required by the competition for accepting new students to the UP.

And even though I've passed all the criteria at the medical faculty I haven't yet accepted, it's very disturbing for us that I've finished private courses that it wasn't just the one I learned at school, that I made private and chemistry and biology, and at the end it's all hopeless...” said Iliraj Hoxhaj a candidate for students in the General Medicine of the UP.

Candidate Krenar Trrstena has also met all criteria for being part of the Stomatology Programme, but has remained out of the list despite reaching 152 points in the prom test and 16.62 points in the receiving exam at the Faculty of Medicine.

And that's a disaster for a young person, you don't allow it to develop, it means the state itself, they have capacity to increase numbers and they don't do that, and they're also demoralized and normal that he then tries to get out of the state...” said Crenar Trrsstena candidate for student in General UP Medicine.

In addition to these two candidates, in the General Medicine Programme, in addition to the number assigned by 150 students, results have shown 199 other young people, who because of quotas are left out of accepted lists. Even in the Stomatology Programme, the number has been completed by accepting 70 new students, and 22 candidates remain outside the lists.

A group of 30 student candidates in these areas have protested in front of the Pristina University Rectorate, demanding increased student numbers in these two programmes: General Medicine and Stomatology.

Subsequent results are followed by the 16th threshold, and most of us are here have 23 points or more” said Ardit Jetish candidate for students in General UP Medicine.

But despite public statements given to RTK a month ago by Decani of the Faculty of Medicine, Susan Manjuka- Krliu and SHSKUK spokesman Shpend Fazliu, that there are infrastructural spaces for holding lectures and performing practical work, even for the remaining number outside student candidates' lists, in the UPP reactor say otherwise. According to them, this year there is no growing number of students.

The moment that Fakulet gave the proposal for that number, that's where that case ends for that year. They may be subject to treatment for the coming academic years as necessary, and then there's an increase in the number, but for this year it's over, another month we start with learning and we can't handle reviewing the capacity of the schools” said Naser Sahiti éctor for Teaching and Student Affairs.

Director of the Federation of Health Union, acting of the Medical Faculty. The UP and the Ministry of Education reactor, respectively, put out 199 candidates for young students in General Medicine and 22 others in Stomatology, who have met the competition criteria and named the government scandal.
