My kids went for a school test today. My wife cannot explain to me as to why it's done on a Sunday and why she was charged 150 Baht for each child. I'm somewhat confused as she says it's a government test. So why do I have to pay? And what's it got to do with the National Curriculum, as I understand it's not compulsory? :confused:

There isn't much info on the website, but it does include lists of all the schools taking the test today and the names of all the students taking the tests.
Oddly enough, it was primary students that were out...thanks.Quote:

The TEDET test is a test to measure knowledge, understanding and skills (literacy-based test).
Trying to develop students skills to the 21st century

^ Interesting but it's in Thai and it may as well be in fucking Linear B for the all good that's going to the clueless amoeba who posted the original question.
He's just passing through, apparently...

...or his own withered colon.
So being a clever cnut, you know the answer do you?Quote:

As there is a science/math program for the lower mathayom levels, I would imagine the test is also for prathom students wanting to enter the program.
Thanks for looking into it CSFFan but I'm none the wiser. And I fail to understand why a student has to pay to take the test.

Admittance to this program is a matter of GPA, being able to pass the particular school's entrance exam and the TEDET score.
As this test is for a specific program, there is a fee associated with the test in order to help eliminate those students that while are able to meet the educational requirements are unable to meet the financial requirements of this program. Students pay extra to be in this program in most schools, the paying extra starts with the test fees.
