Education ‘reform’ is an utter failure
The World Bank’s recent report on a decline in Thai students’ performance in the Program for International Student Assessment (Pisa) is a slap in the face for the government, particularly the Education Ministry, under Nathapol Teepsuwan.
The report attests to the failure of education reform, pledged by the minister and former core leader of the now-defunct People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC). That group’s long protest against the Pheu Thai led government resulted in political deadlock, followed by a coup in 2014.
