siampolee Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 BANGKOK: -- A committee has been set up to take disciplinary action against a lecturer of Rajabhat University’s Kalasin campus who allegedly demanded 7-Eleven stamps or glass set from students in exchange for higher grades. Seems as his or her expectations for ''incentive rewards'' was about as low as his or her qualifications. ''Worthless'' would be and is a flattering accolade for this character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just the other day there was this: The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) may not have said it out loud yet. But it is quite clear that educational reform is now embracing the idea of 'moral soundness and virtues' ". Perhaps they need to say it a little louder and actually do something about it. "Embracing" the idea is not quite the same as taking action. Edited July 16, 2014 by jaltsc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thakkar Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've heard of grade inflation, but this is rediculous. Is there a price war going on as to which professor can charge the lowest for grades?

Quote from a Finance Ministry official: "It's a sticky issue, but I see only positive aspects - 7-Eleven has an excellent distribution network, open 24 hours, a history of assisting the various government branches (from police work to polling stations), their stamp books could double as bank books - I believe it is inevitable..." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
