The Education Ministry has ordered a probe into "indecent hazing activities" at a college involving seared buttocks and students being forced into "mouth-to-mouth" feeding.
Education Minister Gen Dapong Ratanasuwan yesterday ordered the Office of the Private Education Commission (Opec) to investigate the claims surrounding seniorstudents forcing freshmen to partake in humiliating activities.
The probe came after a video clip, which went viral, was released showing a group of shirtless vocational students conducting mouth-to-mouth feeding for the amusementof older students during the "ceremony" .
An additional set of photos show students having their buttocks sprayed with flamesand being forced to lie on the ground with their hands tied up behind their backs and doing push-ups in the water.
The posts drew a torrent of negative comments.
Gen Dapong said Opec informed him about the incidents and knew which privatevocational school the students in the video clip are from.
"I spoke to the director of this private school and asked him to work closely with Opec to find out the truth," Gen Dapong said.
"The ministry initially demanded the school revise its measures and take disciplinary action against senior students, to discourage students from engaging in abusivehazing rituals again."
Gen Dapong said executives of vocational schools, both public and private, should take hazing more seriously rather than just leaving teachers to deal with the matter.
