A problem that a college in Bangkok offered a subpar course for aircraft repair technicians cost about a million baht to enroll and research has been opened has been opened by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation.

The chancellor, Supamas Isarabhakdi, said she had instructed the agency’s continuous minister, Supachai Pathumnakul, to assign a team to investigate the matter, which was made common by Weerachai Phutthawong, a professor at Kasetsart University. On Tuesday, Mr. Weerachai announced via his Instagram page that he had received complaints from students about a program for students studying aircraft repair technicians being offered by a university in Bangkok.

The students claimed that if they paid the entire course cost, the university would grant them a degree.

The complainants claimed that instructors frequently canceled classes despite the high registration fee of 500, 000 and another high hidden costs of about 500, 000.

Graduates were supposed to receive an aeroplane fix certificate, according to the university’s course brochure, which was published in a course brochure.

But, graduates who have already received certificates from a private firm that trained them while completing the course did so. The grads said no employer may get holders of such credentials, according to Mr Weerachai.
