The information that out of 102 candidates for admission to the Faculty of Medicine, as many as 90 of them did not pass the exam, did not surprise the professor from the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Podgorica, Mara Šćepanović.
The professor was a guest in "Colors of the Morning" and said that she does not want to blame future students, parents, professors for this failure, but blames it exclusively on the top of the state.
"Through its personal action, the state proved that knowledge is not valued, but corruption and nepotism, which are at the top. In the last 30 years, the country has enjoyed having an uneducated population," Šćepanović said.
According to her, in the entire system you have 10 percent of super talented children, any gymnasium in the territory of Montenegro. As he says, Montenegro has been talking about unnecessary knowledge and skills for years, and then as a result it gets this, a minimum of knowledge.
"Some of the best students of the Faculty of Law copied the exam for judges, we don't know the result yet. It will be covered up like everything before," Šćepanović said.
Professor Šćepanović believes that the Minister of Education, Damir Šehović, made a big mistake when he said that no one's grade would be reduced, which means that the graduates could then close their books.
"Only the state can answer this, but not this one," Šćepanović said. He says that there are situations where students do not know fractions when they enter the first year of college.
Professor Olivera Leković says that a teacher who wants to give a realistic grade to a student is in a big problem, and that teachers have pressure from parents and students.
"Until 2008, I could stand behind every grade, now I can't do that anymore. "Mechanisms do not allow us to evaluate realistically," said Leković.
He says that the diploma has become meaningless and that entrance exams are needed.
