    20-year strategy must remain flexible

    Oped, Editorial, Published on 04/12/2016

    » No one can exactly predict what Thailand's social, economic and political landscapes will look like in the next 20 years.

This would hopefully give students who study in English programmes a better chance of entering higher education. It sounds reasonable since EP students aren't as good at Thai as those who study in the Thai programme. CUPT's secretary also said that the English tests should basically be translation of its Thai counterpart. This means we could possibly have the Ordinary National Educational Test (ONET) in both Thai and English in the near future.
