The Thai elite doesn't care about education for the masses. They might start thinking for themselves
Thousands of students in eastern Bangkok still do not have a school to go to next month following the second round of admissions. There are more than 4,500 Mathayom 1 pupils without places in the eastern Bangkok area despite schools increasing their class sizes by 10 pupils. Eastern Bangkok is covered by national education area 2. There are 35 schools in the area offering Mathayom study. Increasing the class sizes resulted in 4,370 extra students being squeezed into schools after they had failed to secure places during the first round of admissions. But there were still 4,584 pupils with no place to study, according to the area's education director Suriyon Wasombat.
