The ParentYouth Network for Educational Reform is threatening to file a criminal lawsuit against Education Minister Jurin Laksanawisit for failing to revoke the current university admission system.
"The system is unfair," the network's president Kamolpan Cheewapansri said yesterday, adding that she planned to file a complaint against Jurin and the ministry with the Criminal Court on Friday.
"They are being negligent. They should have changed the system," she explained.
According to her, the current system requires students to be tested on 20 subjects, and the welloff end up having an advantage because they can afford tutorial courses.
"This means children from poor families and remote areas are at a disadvantage. This system is unfair and affects more than a billion children," Kamolpan said.
She also lamented that each student had to pay Bt200 to sit for the General Aptitude Test (GAT) and Professional Aptitude Test (PAT).
"It's a heavy burden for poor families," she added.
