“Rice spaghetti and nam pla” school director dismissed pending disciplinary probe

By Thai PBS

 

 

The school director in Surat Thani’s Tha Chana district who fed school children with rice spaghetti and nam pla (fish sauce) as their lunch has been temporarily dismissed from service pending a disciplinary investigation.

 

Surat Thani governor Witchavuth Jinto signed the dismissal order for Mr Somchao Sitthichen, director of Ban Tha Mai school in Tambon Prasong, Tha Chana district on Tuesday as recommended by Mr Chumpol Srisung, the provincial educational chief.

 

Mr Chumpol told the media that the fact-finding panel found that complaints by parents against suspected corruption involving the school lunch programme of the school was grounded. He added that he then ordered a disciplinary probe against Mr Somchao and recommended to the government that the school director be temporarily dismissed from the service pending the probe which is expected to take about 30 days.

"Suspended without pay" is the usual term, isn't it?

 

Fact-finding investigation has faulted the school director of five issues, including maintenance of electrical system at school did not correspond with regulation; double spending on road construction at school; self-pocketing of revenue from the sale of oil palm seeds of the school; provision of poor quality lunch for school children; and allowing sale of carbonated soft drinks in school which is prohibited by the Education Ministry.

 

Can't have been much left in the trough for anyone else.

Hopefully there will be a special place in Hell for corrupt administrators who literally take of food from children's mouths to enrich themselves.
