The Ordinary National Educational Test (O-Net) has been postponed to February 15 for sixth graders and February 16-17 for ninth graders.
The test results will be released on March 31, the Education Ministry said yesterday.
For 12th graders, the O-Net remains set for February 18-19, with test results on April 10.
All dates will become official when endorsed by the National Institute of Educational Testing Service on Wednesday.
The opening of the next semester for schools in Bangkok and a few flooded provinces, after many extensions, will be on December 6, and for schools located elsewhere or in areas not flooded, will be at the discretion of their directors. Most are expected to start classes on December 1.
The enrolment of students advancing to the seventh and 10th grades will likely be delayed but the new dates have not been worked out yet.
The application for O-Net has been deferred to November 17-22, from 9am on the first day to 23.59pm on the last day, and the payment of fees for the seven basic test subjects to November 18-23, from 9am on the first day and to 8pm on the last day.
