The three other subjects, which will no longer be included in the O-NET, could be tested by schools in a manner that best reflects each location&rsquo;s context, Narong said after yesterday&rsquo;s meeting of the National Institute of Educational Testing Service (NIETS) board. 
	Narong said the change could be implemented without a three-year advance warning because no law or regulation required such advance notice. 
	Deputy Minister Krissanapong Kirtikara said the O-NET subject reduction should help lessen the number of students cramming into schools at present.
