graduate

lack basic knowledge

Why are they graduating in the first place? Who is passing these students? Stop passing students who can't show they learned anything, maybe? Novel idea, I know.

It's mostly private institutions passing people because they just care about the money and nothing else.

That exam wasnt created for that and there is a very difficult exam to get a residency which is required for more 'complex' doctor jobs, so people didnt see the need for that until now. They are working on changes though that could involve shutting down courses that fail to meet the necessary standards
