Go USTe !!!!
“last year’s passing rate of 71.27 percent.”
– better is you insert “national” before “passing rate.” Write up is not well edited.
The Faculty of Medicine and Surgery made it once more. Congratulations for a job well done. You truly contribute immensely in maintaining the good academic traditions of UST.
