The Ministry of Education has decided to conditionally approve medical students' leave of absence?
[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.
The ministry said it would approve a leave of absence for medical students who are not returning to school on the condition that they return at the start of the first semester of next year.
However, he clearly drew a line that he does not allow the alliance to take a leave of absence due to the legislative conflict.
In order to take a leave of absence, he stressed that he/she must clearly state that he/she has no intention of taking a leave of absence from the alliance and prove the reason for the school regulations.
Students who want to take a leave of absence should also specify that they will be back in time for the start of next year's semester through counseling.
If you fail to explain the reason or do not return to school next year, you will be paid and expelled according to the school regulations.
The Ministry of Education explained that the previously submitted leave of absence is considered an alliance leave of absence to oppose the increase in medical schools.
Therefore, according to the procedure announced today, students who want to take a leave of absence can only be approved by clarifying the reason for the leave of absence and the timing of return.
Each university must approve the leave of absence and submit its curriculum operation plan for next year to the Ministry of Education.
The number of first-year medical students will increase significantly next year with the addition of students and freshmen returning to school.
He stressed that the operation plan should include giving new students priority in class registration and division.
The Ministry of Education said it will also consult with the Ministry of Health and Welfare to flexibly adjust the timing of the national examination of doctors and the selection of majors.
