In most countries, government organizations are known to not be particularly effective. The Ministry of Education in Thailand though, is the worst government organization I have ever dealt with.
When I was teaching at my last school, I was approached for help in English grammar one day by the Thai computer teacher who was very upset because he'd just been chastised by a representative from the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry representative had seen some work he had been doing with the kids and had told him very rudely that he should make sure the English wording on the kids' Mother's Day greeting cards was correct. This coming from a representative of an organization that routinely sends forms in English to Western teachers that don't have even one grammatically correct English sentence on them.
Some of them were so unintelligible my boss would just chuck them in the nearest garbage can.
Thailand is now facing a crisis in education.
Thai students are not taught to think for themselves so have no critical thinking skills. At government schools, more than 50 students in a class is the norm.
