Dismal State Of Thai Education

My wife's son has lived in Bkk for 9 years with his 10 year old son . When the time comes for him to study in high school, unless he can find a sponsor ie a Bangkok property owner, he will have to return to the place of his birth, Chiang Mai to study. Now that might be alright for those with relatives willing or capable to put him up and look after him .....but if not then the kid will have to drop out of the system after primary school (as most kids poor kids from the provinces do).

What a brilliant system to ensure the Bangkok elite have a steady supply of low paid slaves at their disposal.
