Netizens were outraged on Friday over responses from the Council of University Presidents of Thailand, showing a disregard for the COVID-19 situation, which could affect college admission examinations and the futures of many senior high school students.

 

The anger came after a screenshot of Facebook messenger, showing a conversation between a high student and a council officer, went viral Thursday night.

 

In the conversation, the student was seeking advice as to what she should do in case she catches COVID-19 and is unable to take exams on the designated dates. In response, the officer said “Take it next year or go for other majors that don’t require test results.”
