Probably as they just spent 2 years on line realising that Thailand is quite a small country, that there is history outside of Thailand and that unless they are connected, they will never achieve anything in life

Give the mind-numbing soul-crushing methods of Thai educational "system" I'm surprised the number isn't far higher

Or they looked up Thailand’s ranking in the PISA EDUCATIONAL TABLES 

The article doesn't say what age the students who dropped out were. If I recall correctly, school students don't have to stay at school after M3. They can go and get a job if they want.
