Envoy: CSMU has its own quality check

Crimea State Medical University (CSMU) has its own quality control mechanism to ensure that all its students meet the criteria to become doctors, Ukraine ambassador to Malaysia Oleksandr D. Shevchenko said.
Because of this, about 8% to 10% of the students were expelled yearly for not meeting the mark.
“In 2004, 38 students from various parts of the world were expelled,” said Shevchenko at a roundtable discussion at Parliament House yesterday.
The discussion, organised by DAP to examine the CSMU issue, was attended by the opposition party’s MPs as well as representatives from several non-governmental organisations.
Shevchenko also said his office had yet to receive any official word that CSMU had been de-recognised by Malaysia.
