OPEC Confident about more Students for Private Schools

(26-04-2013)


The Secretary General of the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC), Mr. Bandit Sriphutthangkul recently talked about the admission of private school students in the upcoming academic year of 2013, saying that, normally, the number of students applying for private schools is continuously increasing every year, especially kindergarten and primary students. Like last year, 40,000 to 50,000 more students are expected to apply for private schools which keep accepting students until before the first semester of the academic year of 2013. Parents interested in sending their children to any private schools in Thailand can contact them directly because the schools do not depend on any financial support from the government.

"Although private schools are allowed to accept new students until the beginning of the first semester, they have to close the applications if the number of students exceeds the limit set per classroom. Due to concerns regarding the quality and standard of the education provided, one classroom can have no more than 45 students. Currently, many private schools are asking OPEC to increase the maximum number of students per class. This shows that private schools in Thailand are still much favored by parents," said Mr. Bandit.

Regarding admission of lower level vocational education students, the number does not tend to increase. However, after the Office of the Vocational Education Commission (OVEC) introduces bachelor degree courses in vocational education in the next academic year of 2013, more students are expected to study vocational courses and OPEC's curriculums are similar to those of OVEC, so students who complete their studies in private vocational colleges can then further their studies at public institutions, concluded Mr. Bandit.
