MY hometown has a university of medicine and I open a hostel for male medical students. In Myanmar, medical profession is considered top career and only top scorers from matriculation exam could get a place of those rare university. Myanmar has 4 medical universities in 3 different cities including my hometown. Being medical professional, one can expect a successful work-life balanced career. Thus, most of students as well as their parents are dreaming to become a doctor. Some top students don't interest in medicine due to certain reasons such as fear of seeing bloods. However, they sadly can't afford to against their parent's wills. As a result, they have to go medical university without interesting. In fact, those students eligible to enter medical university can select other professional universities like engineering, law, economic, etc.
Last month, I visited my hometown as we got week long CNY holiday. We usually stay at a room of hostel. I was shocked to learn that there were 3 medical students from our hostel getting kicked out of university for failing their exam as well as supply. What a disappointing news is it? In fact, it's quite expensive to study at medical university. I spoke with a mum of one medical student who accompany with her first year student son at our hostel and ask how much they have to spend for a student. She replied, 3 lakh (USD 353)per month because her son is considered a clever student who doesn't waste money. I was surprising to know such amount to be spent as a student. In Myanmar, that amount can be considered huge for an ordinary family. Under this expensive circumstance, all students should have studied hard, I think.
However, the behavior I witnessed from the students of my hostel make me feel disappointing. They are not serious in studying. They look like coming to the university for leisure. They're spending much of their time at internet, football station, hanging out with girl friend, playing some sports, etc. Most of students need to attend tuition conducted by their lecturers. It's costly to pay tuition fees. Perhaps they think they can pass exam easily if they are attending their lecturer's tuition. May be last time was right that attitude. Now, everything is changing in Myanmar together with reforms. The education sector is not exceptional. Probably it might have affected to those bad students who are not dutiful with their assignments.
As a young school goer, we tried hard our study with the prospect of a place in the medical university. Likewise, the parent invest most of their saving in the education of their child to fulfill their aim. No parent would like to see their child get low grade. The parent and eligible student for medical university are deemed as ideal within their region. They would be awarded by the regional body so as to recognize their continuous efforts to success. Seeing them failed at the early years of medical university will not be expected by all concerned people around them back home. It's really look like their dream eventually become melted to shit.
May all student be able to understand their duty and fulfill their life-dream.
