School scams rife

Re: “School probe on ‘ghost’ claims begins”, ( BP, Nov 26).

The probe should extend to more than just “ghost” students. Many schools get a budget to pay native English speaking teachers in the area of 30,000 baht per teacher. Instead, some schools hire either local teachers or non-native speakers, pay them 7,000 baht to 10,000 baht a month, and someone pockets the difference. We all know this is has been going on for years, except those in the Ministry of Education. They know little to nothing unless prodded to “probe”.
