Formal complaint system

[brucetefl]

Does anyone know of a formal complaint system with the MOE for schools and universities in Thailand?

[Loaded]

Depends on the kind of complaint I guess. Education law? criminal law? category of the school?

[brucetefl]

Obviously the courts are one option for dissatisfied students. But does the MOE field complaints? CHE? Can schools be disciplined or even lose accreditation for inappropriate activities?

Is this enquiry related to Thongsbrook ?

[brucetefl]

No

Surely a call to the MOE from the Director of International Studies (that would be you. Bruce) @ Thongsook International College would elicit the information. Wouldn't it????

The Educational Service Area (ESA) is the place where you should go. There are 1-3 ESAs in each province. About 185 nationwide. If the school in question is a government school, it can all be handled there. If it's a private school, the ESA might direct you to the OPEC.

So the answer seems to be "no". But thanks to the few posters who did attempt to give a legitimate answer.

Really? We contacted the regional education office some 9 months ago regarding unpaid salary. They have their own lawyer, you know?

Several letters (as requested) later, they now refer us to some other government agency, as the school has been stonewalling.

More to the point, it's surprising that some foreigner wants to get paid for time worked.

This school doesn't give two hoots about the law, the TCT's license program or stuff like Work Permits or Immigration laws.

There are all these laws & rules - and then there is what goes down.

Unpaid salary--go straight to Labor.
