After allegations were made online that one of the two schools served spoiled fruit in student dishes while the other was over soliciting families for donations for a school bus, the Office of the Basic Education Commission ( Obec) has inspected two universities in Chachoengsao and Nakhon Ratchasima.
In response to the public’s condemnation of the two schools ‘ allegations of misconduct, Obec Secretary-General Thanu Wongchinda addressed the controversy yesterday. He claimed that the Obec’s municipal practices and the Happiness and Safety Centre have been looking into the issues.
Sub Lt Thanu claims that there was no supporting evidence in the research into a Chachoengsao class that was allegedly serving spoilt food.
The kids interviewed claimed to have never had any food-related illnesses and had never consumed pampered fruits or vegetables.
He said all kids confirmed they had sufficient meals regularly and, consequently, Obec concluded that this state was false.
The Secondary Educational Service Area Office of the province in Nakhon Ratchasima conducted an investigation into the reported donation call at Chumphuangsuksa School, working with legal advisors and psychology.
The officers discovered that funds were being made, but they were deliberate and were only intended for the development of schools rather than a school bus, as some people had suggested online.
However, the leaders directed the school to quickly halt the call, discuss the situation with parents and students, and ensure that control strictly adhered to the rules and regulations in this regard.
The class demanded that kids donate at least 400 ringgit per box, according to social media allegations that surfaced last Thursday. According to the claims made on interpersonal media, the gifts would be used to purchase a university vehicle.
Prior to a charity event scheduled for Nov 16 as part of the Buddhist robe-offering time, one box was given to each person’s home and four to a broader area distribution, according to the school’s director, Viroj Duansantia.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission conducted an investigation into Chumphuangsuksa School’s payment processing, finding that the funds ranged from 10 to 1000 baht, which is in opposition to the website charges. The NACC, nevertheless, requested more records to maintain transparency.
