well the level of education in thailand is so low that I decided that in 2013 i will pack my bags and go back to europe to offer real education to my daughters (and most important learning to question and reason by themselves) ... my niece was in her 3rd year of journalism at bangkok university and one day i just tested her and her friends knowledge and it was just incredibly low.  simple questions like what is the capital of brazil or some basic 10th grade historical facts found no answer,  even simple questions about thai history found no answers ... a few years ago the BP questionned 2nd year students of political science from Chula and they could not even tell who was Jimmy Carter and could not place sweden on a map. when i look at the work that my 9 years old who is in a (private international school) i'm appaled as her program is not even on par whith what i was taught when I was 7 in europe. She will maybe lose 1 year in europe but I prefer this to letting her having a mediocre education and think that cheating is normal, abusing foreigners is normal, that money is the most important thing in life, that people with money and power are always right, that corruption is normal etc...etc...
