How COVID-19 is hitting future prospects of Thailand’s aspiring uni students

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s youngsters can breathe sighs of relief after the grueling one-day university entrance examination was canceled, but their future education chances still depend on two national exams.

 

So, the risk of missing these exams if they get infected with COVID-19 is sparking a loud outcry, especially from students who have been revising hard for months.

 

They want the authorities to come up with a better plan. In other Asian countries, allowances have been made so students in quarantine or isolation can still take their exams.

So don't catch Covid... simple answer.

Be aware of what you're doing, who you're with and the possible outcome.

Is it so difficult to arrange that here?  As opposed to missing such an important exam due to some dodgy ATK result..
