neeray Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 No problem. The GENERAL of EVERYTHING will probably appoint himself head of the Ministry of Education and do the appointments himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeVonderBearz Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm sure there's a few retired army hotshots with a foot in the grave and medals popping out their ears who'll be able to take control of education. They're the exact people capable of reforming education so the next few generations of thais will be well educated and aware of the world around them.

tompelli Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I do hope the outgoing members will be filling in their "unusual wealth" forms. Will make interesting reading how they accumulate millions on a government salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, it could be an area where they are organised, as corruption is part of life. Perhaps all the nominees leave an envelope with a sealed bid. The successful applicant is announced after all the envelopes have been opened and checked to find the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cynicism aside, it probably is very similar to how you describe. The bids are 'put out to tender' & after the envelopes are opened, they most likely have 'post-tender negotiations'. With the latter, 2 companies (or people) are allowed to increase their bid. Comical almost, but in reality, not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win win Oh, I'm sure that they will be far too busy. With all the plans to reform and restructure the education service, they will be called upon to sit on many committees , sent on many fact finding missions to numerous far flung resorts - I mean locations -, and have to get to grips with the equipment and facilities made available to them to continue their service in retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigand Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Won't be decided on ability or merit ... just who is senior and pays the most. This is how incompetence is constantly perpetuated into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
