Why White and Indian students need higher marks to study medicine in South Africa

A recent case of race-based student admission quotas at UKZN’s medical school has brought the system into the spotlight.

50% in the benchmark test

I think I'll just stay away from all UKZN doctors

After reading that article, I think I'll be visiting only white and indian doctors from now on.

So in other words do not use black African doctors.

Racism in the working. But it's acceptable?

History repeats itself. Racists copying racists. Nothing new

If you can find any, they left the country already.

This quota system has been around for a long time. I got in at UKZN for medicine back in 2001 but decided to study another field. (Indian) Had 5 A's and 2 C's (languages). The average of my 5 A's was 98% though.

I wonder how the average black person feels about the fact that the ANC doesn't believe blacks can compete intellectually on merit against whites and Indians.

Old syllabus I think, way harder.

A (white) work colleague's daughter wants to study medicine. But the reality is that she will not get in because of quotas like this.

He packed up and moved to NZ. Can't blame him. I would do the same if I was in his shoes.

As usual the Indians bribe themselves in

Just as guilty as the whites and blacks taking the bribes.

Chaaro here. We need more universities. As much as I hate the quota system - i think its necessary. Id probably feel differently if I had my own kids though.

In my opinion, ever since the early nineties, the quality has dropped every 3-6 or so years. Iirc, it has dropped massively since 2005.

LOL, this is going to have the opposite effect it should.
Everyone will simply consider black people inferior, because as the data show, they in fact will be.
