If you are a student, this will make you laugh for sure. There is nothing more interesting than hearing about what goes on inside exam halls.

It does sound like a place of strict decorum and discipline. You can imagine there must've been a dramatic moment amid all that commotion between shock and astonishment.

When the examiner linked her fingers into a cross that she held high and very visibly in front of her. Where everyone could see it and exclaimed "A-h-h-h-h!" The poor girl!

It's funny but could be so embarrassing. Especially for this new graduate who's also a content producer in the field of tropical disease biology.

Furthermore, she provides her Instagram followers with a wealth of learning resources, entrance exam tips, and career counseling. Then she suddenly found herself in a sticky situation.

Sure you must've run into situations where you agreed to wear something. Only to end up regretting the decision.

The student was "yellow carded" for wearing a "short skirt" during her OSCE exam. Could someone explain how it is 2021 & medical colleges are still enforcing sexist concepts?

Of primness upon its girl student cohort for daring to reveal their ankles? On the other hand, there was an image of Eilidh in a classy knee-length dress.

Which is probably not what you think of when you hear the word "inappropriate." It's time to look at the whole incident. Which will hopefully show how much patriarchal crap women have to put up with every day.

Academics, unfortunately, are not an exception to this rule. Let's get started!

Dress punishment

School imposed an "inappropriate dress" punishment has been on a medical student by

Update

When a buddy tweeted about the incident, the student herself wrote a follow-up.

Leg coverings

Role-playing

The institution sought to explain the occurrence by stating that it was a role-playing exercise for an exam.

Gender prejudice is evident in academic employment, tenure and promotion, and evaluations of teaching, to name just a few areas. Sex discriminatory practices is difficult to show because of the rooted form of sexual bias and discrimination.

Also, as a result of rampant sexual harassment in the workplace. Many young women choose to leave academia.

Yellow card

However, they decided that the exam assessor was incorrect in awarding the student a yellow card punishment.

It's so sad

The institution was justified in penalizing the student for wearing a 'inappropriate clothing,' according to some.

A woman student who wishes to remain anonymous said that academia is rife with sexism and misogyny. There needs to be a greater understanding of why people think that displaying a little extra skin demeans our professional image, she said.

Sadly this is a topic steeped in ancient beliefs that women's skin may be distracting in some manner, or that the sight of skin beyond the kneecaps renders women any less professional.

Reflection

Confusion

However, the majority of the people were unable to comprehend the issue and supported the student.

The examiner's comment that the dress was the most unprofessional she had ever seen. Was made during her years as an examiner at the institution was made after the show had closed and the performer was no more in character.

According to the yellow card issued by our clinician. A student was wearing shorts with no leg protection, which a player reported on immediately after the station since it appeared to be unprofessional.

Rules are rules, and for a medical student, failing to adhere to these rules could mean the difference between passing and failing. While students must abide by all rules

Dress codes should be considered differently, as they place undue stress on applicants. However strict the policy may be, it is still unfair to penalize students who fail to live up to standards they cannot even meet.
