Something big happened to the Thai education system this week 
However, it is rather difficult understanding exactly what happened and the impact it might have. 
A non-descript article on the changes published on Tuesday is now the most read news article on the Bangkok Post website with 57,413 page views as of 12:39 25/03/2016 (see Regional education authority restructured here).    
Today's editorial in the Bangkok Post explains what happened and provides much-needed background information and some historical context to help understand the change.
