October 15, 201411 yr The dbd allowed me to open as an activity learning center. They say I can have as many learners as I like within safety . The moe say if I have more than 7 learners, I must register as a school. That would be impossible as all learners go to a formal school already, and come to learn only one hour after school. Who is right??
October 16, 201411 yr From previous posts I think its MOE. But you may be able to get away with 7 or less per class.
October 16, 201411 yr The private school act states in section 5 "This Act shall not apply to (1) An educational establishment having a total of not exceeding 7 students." IE more than 7 in total and you need to register as a school. The original Thai version is clearer than this translation and states 7 students since opening. Under Non-formal Schools "Section 120.The establishment of a Non-formal School shall require a license from the Licensor." “Licensor” means(1) the Secretary-General the Private Education Promotion Commission.(2) the Director the Office of the Education Area assigned by the Secretary-General of the Private Education Promotion Commission, or(3) The provincial governor assigned by the Secretary-General of the Private Education Promotion Commission. Under Penalties: "Section 147.Any person who establishes a Non-formal School without permission in accordance with Section 120 shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or a fine not exceeding twenty thousand baht, or both." http://www.ctlo.com/mediacenter/Publications/2011-03-28-PrivateSchoolAct-En.pdf
October 17, 201411 yr What is the 'dbd'? I think ( not really sure) that it stands for Department of Business Development. Ministry of Commerce.
October 20, 201411 yr Author Is that 7 per day. Or 7 at a time. Or 7 registered. 7 in one strike. What does that mean???? 7 in one strike per day. 7 in one strike per time. 7 in one strike on the books.
