Pay Up Or Lose Your Education Credits

[G54]

This morning the g/f spoke to her teacher on the phone. Seems the g/f has 70 hours from 100 hours on her accounting course at college. Now the course has ended.

The g/f has been asked for 10 Baht an hour for the missing 30 hours classroom time. Apparently this money will go to the school not to the teacher. Will it?

When the g/f pays up she will have 100 hours credit to her course. Will be given the 'pass' she needs - she has alreay sat the exam.

Is this normal?

Yes, I know TiT

I would rather she had the education, but such is life and she has missed the 30 hours. No certificate means she may not get the work she wants in the office at a factory in her village. So I paid up, rightly or wrongly.

Would you not have done the same?

Maybe the mods want to move this to education but I thought general topics would be ok

And you can not spare 300 baht?

Never heard of this before, what college is it?

Almost the same situation for me. My wife is in Uni and she just completed her end of semester exams. She has a government student loan that is paying for her education, atleast that's what we thought. She got a call about a week ago from one of her teachers to inform her that she will not get her marks until she settles her fees. After some calls to the institution that grants the loans and the Uni finance department, it turns out that she did not request finance for this year, she did fill in all the paperwork but apparently it was 'misplaced'. Cost me 18000 Baht.

Wish someone offered me such a deal when I missed out on all the classes..

good for nothing teachers.

I guess slamming there head in the door doesn’t really help on good credit as well

LOL Norrad, amazing how many times someone else's mistakes can cost you in this place!

Where did you get that from??? Not what the topic was about. Maybe you need to attend reading classes or get some glasses?

THB10 x 30 = THB300

That's what you wrote, so lighten up
