It appears that the only thing of any importance in the Thai education system is having one's paperwork in order- having the student records folders completed. Failing students are routinely passed as it would make the school look bad. I heard that everyone passes in Thailand and now know that it is true. I was chatting with a Thai teacher at flag ceremony the other day and she mentioned that she was proctoring the exams of the incoming M1 students and 25 out of 31 couldn't read. Not read English mind you, but Thai.The students know that they wil not fail any class, so they can do whatever they like in class. Many teachers complain about this but apparently to deaf ears.
