Unfortunately it will take massive loss of face before Thailand does anything to change its education system. Creative and critical thinking are deliberately left out of the learning process in Thailand so the minority wealthy class can to continue to control their neo feudal fiefdoms.Thailand needs political and social reform. Thais across the country especially Thai children no matter their class deserve more. Stop with the lies and do something about this reality.

Parents should step up and demand better education for their kids ... and parents should also be aware of their part which is that the children are ready to learn when they get to school and they should help them and check their home works

I don't think that the education system will improve until education is taken out of the control of politicians as it is not in their personal financial interests to have an educated public, which has developed critical and analytical thinking. It is noticeable that the worst schools are in the rural areas, and probably in the PT's areas of loyalty, but then all political parties are guilty about ignoring education. Perhaps Thailand will just have to wait until some moment in the distant future when the Thais get tired of being ruled by corrupt and self-serving politicians who don't want the population to be educated.
