re: "Casual dress allowed at college exams" (BP, November 5, 2022)
Dear editor,
In his loyalist railing against the notion that students be allowed to dress in comfort when taking exams, Atthaphon Sangkhawasee, the permanent secretary for education, really should have presented the compelling factual argument for his stance. It is presumably because they always wear such "uniforms ... closely tied to ... behaviour, discipline, responsibility, and morality," that the Royal Thai Police, Royal Thai Army, and similar institutions are famously respected for setting the example to the Thai nation of moral excellence, with never any hint of corruption, malfeasance, coup plotting, or engaging in any underhand, if not outright criminal, behaviour.
Need more be said in defence of official opposition to progress in Thai education?
