The Sub-Committee of Teachers and Education Personnel (SCTEP) has reportedly become involved in the recent cases of cheating in the recent teaching-assistant exam scandal. Some of its members have admitted being 'exam agents' and receiving money from examinees, tutoring them and even obtaining exam papers from the central office before forwarding them to the examinees.
After many local SCTEP offices in several provinces of Thailand had announced the results of the exam for teaching assistants, there was a report about 500 examinees whose high scores were somewhat dubious. Moreover, local SCTEP offices had informed the central office that some examinees appeared to have cheated despite unclear evidence. As a result, the SCTEP had to ask for all examinees' answer sheets to be returned to Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).
On 13 April 2013, Mr. Adisorn Naowanont, the chairman of the local office of SCTEP area 7 in Nakhon Ratchasima, on behalf of the chairman of the local office of SCTEP in Northeastern Thailand, said that six persons, those involved in cheating in the exam and the examinees, were invited to assist in an investigation. The examinees said that they had worked very hard before the exam. However, officers found that their grade point averages for their bachelor degrees were not very good. Together with other evidence, it can be assumed that there had been cases of cheating.
To be sure, the local office of SCTEP in Nakhon Ratchasima will ask for more information from the DSI and OBEC as well as asking its central office for more time to probe this case.
Mr. Adisorn added that the SCTEP had recently had an open-up talk with one of its members who had been chosen to be an exam proctor because the member had been asked to find and tutor examinees for this exam. This person admitted doing so by finding examinees who wanted to take an exam in Khon Kaen and moving them to sit the one in Nakhon Ratchasima.
"In terms of the exam papers the SCTEP member received, somebody in OBEC allegedly gave them to this member. The local SCTEP office will be reporting this to OBEC," concluded Mr. Adisorn.
