A medical student who's not coming back...Government Approves Conditional Leave of absence

[Anchor]
The government said it would approve conditional leave of absence after the second semester began and the collective paid concerns became a reality as medical students did not return.

However, he warned that he would be expelled if he did not return by the first semester of next year, saying he would not allow the alliance to take a leave of absence from school against the increase in medical schools.

Currently, 40 medical schools nationwide have only 2.8% attendance in the second semester.

The government has pushed back the paid standard until the end of the school year and encouraged them to return, but medical students are not budging.

In the end, the Ministry of Education took out another card with a massive paid situation on the horizon.

We have decided to approve medical students' leave of absence on the condition that they return to the first semester of next year.

However, we still do not permit the alliance leave of absence thrown in opposition to the increase in medical schools.

The Ministry of Education judges that the leave of absence already submitted by medical students is an alliance leave of absence.

Therefore, students who want to take a leave of absence must prove their reasons again in accordance with the school regulations.

The Ministry of Education also warned that they will be paid or demobilized if they do not return in the first semester of next year, when they promised.

[Lee Joo-ho / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: For students who are willing to take a leave of absence, please clearly confirm that they do not intend to take a leave of absence from the alliance through a separate procedure, such as correcting the previously submitted leave of absence.]

However, it is unclear how much medical students who have not moved to any conciliatory measures, insisting on the abolition of the increase in medical schools, will respond.

If you don't respond again this time, you won't know until the end of this year whether you'll be paid collectively or over by taking a leave of absence.

[Shim Min-cheol / Human Resources Policy Planning Officer at the Ministry of Education] In fact, the majority of the 18,000 students have taken a leave of absence, so it will take quite a long time. Overall, if everything is finished and organized, it should be at the end of the school year so that we can judge these paid and discharged parts..]

Universities that have approved the leave of absence must submit next year's education plan to the Ministry of Education, taking into account the size of students on leave of absence.

It also includes giving new students priority such as class registration and division.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education plans to come up with a plan to reduce the medical school system from six years to five years, but
There are many voices concerned about the insolvency of
and this is already a strong backlash.
