Thank you for such insight and informative observation on Thai Education. I agree with you on using fake statistics and saved face-reports in Thai context. I fought against both through out my life, but little effects for the fact that we run our country with unbalance powers of the three branches of Democratic governing system:: Legislative, executive, and judiicial branches, especially the last one that over rule all others. The problem is like what you pointed out and more over we are ‘silent society’ as old proverb says: speak out cost a few buck, but keep quiet shall yield profit (พูดไปสองไพเบี้ย นื่งเสียตำลึงทอง). Although the outcomes do not conform the saying: Power-person speak out, get all, the powerlessness speak out, end in jail. Although the outcome might not be as we expect, people like you and me point out the problems and suggest how to solve them. Occasionally or Most of the time it might not work as we think, like วิทยฐานะ that I proposed for hoping to promote value added education. And after it did not turned out the way we wanted, we felt ‘guilty’. Only people like you and me who are always accountable for our actions, but many might not even cares at all. But, because this world has the people like Edison, Einstein, Hawking, etc. that encores the way we are now. Although it might be another way around, I mean, leaving the world alone a primitive one and might not have to face pulution as it is today. But we might miss a lot of experiences. You and me might not have a chance to read each other thoughts through internet.
Thank you for you insight and informative writing again.
