The 'No Fail Policy' is a failure.

It fails to serve Thailand and it fails to serve it's future and it's people.

Today's students are tomorrows leaders of this great national, morally, ethically and economically.

This policy makes a mockery of the education system and does nothing to enbolden this country at home or in the international community.

Those who support this policy need to consider the effect this has on students' expectations on life, and the future economy of Thailand.

Like it or not, Thailand needs to be a a part of global change, for the sake of Thailand, and human kind.  False success may seem to save face, but it makes that face an ugly one, which can not be taken seriously by like minded professioanls or the international community.  Nor will it be deemed acceptable by tomorrows leaders in Thai communities, who will accept nothing less than world's best practice, credible professional standards and ethical behaviour.

At times I am so embarresed for the state of the education system in this country.  When I meet countless university graduates of English degree programs, who can not provide a single coherent sentence in English, my heart truly sinks for these people.  It's not their fault.  The system has failed them.  It's not the teacher's fault.  Their hands are tied ( or Thai'd - if you'll excuse the pun ).  The administration lets them down.  It's the collective consciences of the decision makers that need to wake up and smell the thorns. It will happen someday.  Thailand will demand it.  As will the international community.  I hope for the sake of this wonderful country that it is sooner, rather than later.

Failing does not mean failure.  It's an opportunity for growth.  It's not about face.  It's about growth and learning.  We all need to strive for excellence.  Adapt.  Improve.  Learn how to accept and manage feedback.  It's only data after all.  It's not personal.  What we do with that data makes us who we are, and sets the bench mark for our future goals.

Sorry to take up so much space on this issue. 

Keep up the good work Khun Pinit. Thailand ( and the world ) needs more voices and hearts like yours, who are prepared to stand up, and make a difference.

Peace.
