This website is a testimony to the problems Canadian Student Loan borrowers experienced from approximately 1996 to 2008 and until their loans were paid off.

The privatization of the Student Loans system by the Chretien and Martin Liberal governments broke the system and defaulted thousands of borrowers who were trying to pay their loans. There were even stories of suicide due to the harassment of borrowers.

Read the report that I prepared back in 2007 here. Canada Student Loans-The Need for Change Fortunately the new Conservative government at the time revamped the program and fixed the system for new borrowers, but borrowers under the previous program were left with ruined credit and continued harassment from debt collectors.

I call on the Canadian Government to apologize to the borrowers affected by this fiasco and make amends.

Unfortunately the Liberal government is again clobbering the Education system with their changes to International Student Visas. Yes, there's a problem, but instead of a well thought out plan, they have pulled the emergency brake on the train causing a derailment. This has introduced unprecedented instability for both private and public education institutions who serve both international and local students.

Universities have been forced to cancel programs and layoff hundreds if not thousands of full-time and contract instructors.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment.

China plans to train 300,000 general practitioners

China will train up to 300,000 general practitioners within 10 years to satisfy the needs of primary-level medical and health care institutions, Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.

The plan, announced by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), will also encourage doctors to serve at primary-level hospitals or clinics.

 

General practitioners provide primary care, treating acute and chronic illnesses in community-level medical institutions. They also provide preventive care for local residents.

To implement the plan, the country will push forward reforms in the medical education system and adjust student enrollment numbers as well as majors, Xinhua said.

To encourage college graduates to work in primary-level clinics, authorities will offer tuition fee remission, student loans and an early promotion.

Students who agree to work as general practitioners in county and village-level clinics in rural areas of west and central China after graduation can get their medical training free.

In this year's government work report, Premier Wen Jiabao promised to accelerate reform in health care and support development of village clinics and rural doctors.

Training general practitioners for primary-level hospitals is also an important part of China's public hospital reform. A medical student will have to complete his residency before becoming a general practitioner in the future, according to the reform plan released on February.
