In light of the Tokyo Medical University scandal, SKE48 member Yahagi Yukina reveals that she failed her medical examinations for Tokyo Medical University by one point before pursuing dentistry

Tokyo Medical University is in hot water!

The Yomiuri Shimbun reported that Tokyo Medical University altered results in 2011 to ensure under 30% of successful applicants would be women.

The newspaper publication quote a possible whistleblower that officials adopted a “silent understanding” to reduce the number of female entrants over concerns female graduates were not going on to practice medicine in employment.

The anonymous source said it was because “Many female students who graduate end up leaving the actual medical practice to give birth and raise children.”

As the private university says it will investigate the discrimination reports, SKE48 member Yahagi Yukina (23) revealed on her Twitter that she failed her Tokyo Medical University examinations by one point and shared the Tokyo Medical University scandal news report.
