The case of a mentally ill past teacher who is being sued for 16 million ringgit by the school that provided her with the PhD scholarship may be looked into by both the higher learning ministry and the House committee.

The panel will meet on December 14 in Chiang Rai territory to learn from the original teacher and a member of Mae Fah Luang University, according to Takorn Tantasith, head of the House committee on higher education, science, research, and innovation.

The former professor, according to Mr. Takorn, sent her petition to him directly via Facebook, and the House committee had carefully look into the matter to establish a standard for fellowship applications and payment.

Supamas Isaraphakdi, the chancellor of higher education, research, research, and innovation, declared that she had given officials the go-ahead to look into the matter and that justice would be served.

Doctor Keng is the only name given to the original teacher at Mae Fah Luang University. She was reportedly born into a low-income home and was only able to complete her postgraduate studies thanks to scholarships from Mae Fah Luang University and the ministry of higher learning.

She had a mental illness while pursuing her PhD in England in 2012, and she spent 28 times receiving cure it. She then finished her research.

Dr. Keng revealed on Monday’s Morning News TV3 that she later went back to Thailand and started teaching at Mae Fah Luang University.

She submitted a letter of resignation to the school on August 19, 2014, when her anxiety disorder—which she had experienced in England—resurfaced.

Due to her health issue, her departure plea was swiftly accepted. However, she was later sued for 16 million baht for skipping 10 years of college employment in order to pay back her award.

She therefore requested restoration, according to Dr. Keng, but to no cost.
