Thai government supports Buriram graduates amidst cheating allegations

[snoop1130]

 

The Thai government has strongly defended 40 graduates of Buriram Rajabhat University. These students are facing allegations of cheating in their exams for assistant teaching roles. Speculations have been fueled by the fact that the Education Minister, Permpoon Chidchob, hails from Buriram province, where the university is located.

 

Karom Phonphonklang, the Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, addressed the allegations. He criticized the accusers, stating that there should be no accusations without any substantial evidence. He reminded everyone that no law supports unfounded allegations and that every person deserves equality.

 

Karom also labeled those making accusations as immature, irresponsible, and lacking empathy. He noted that many of the accused students come from underprivileged backgrounds, with their families making big sacrifices for their education.

 

 

In the face of these accusations, Karom praised the graduates' hard work and commitment to their five-year study at Buriram Rajabhat University. He also condemned those who level criticism without proper proof.

 

Karom then emphasized that each province, not just Buriram, produces talented individuals. He stated such groundless criticism only serves to stir up divisions. He urged people to think about the real effects of their words and actions, and to desist from making groundless accusations.

When I worked at a government school in Bangkok I had to interview two candidates for the position of teaching assistant in the MEP classes. They had to do a little English test and sit with me for a formal interview.

 

One lady was great. She aced the test, had excellent English skills and a strong desire to work with children. She expressed her ambitions to work in education very clearly. The other girl turned up with a cheat sheet. She even managed to get all questions wrong because she couldnt even use a cheat sheet. She cried in the interview because she couldnt even speak the basics.

 

"How are you?" ---- "Huh"

"Sabai dii mai" ----- " Uh, yah, sabaii dii kha"

"Why do you want to be a teacher?" ----- tears.

 

The second candidate got the job, as she was the sister of another teacher. Her students spoke better english than her. She had a degree in English Communication from Buriram Uni. 

 

Everything in the education system is wrong!

Really aiming high.
A teachers salary is bad enough.

[dallen52]

Just look at the Money deposit boxes on the teachers desks and expectations that they will be used.

If you want pass marks.
