"O-net"

The Minister of Education, Natthaphon Theepsuwan, handed out face masks to grade 12 students who came to take the Ordinary National Education Test (O-Net) exam for academic year 2019 at Triam Udom Suksa School in Bangkok on Saturday (February 29).

A mascot dressed as a schoolgirl entertained a crowd at Bangkok’s Siam Square on Sunday to promote the Sahapat Admission Project that offers high-school students free tutoring for their university admissions tests next month.

Free tutoring for university admission tests is now available from October 1-6 for applicants who registered with the 21st Sahapat Admission Project.

A top official of the National Institute of Education Testing Service (NIETS) maintains that the questions asked in the Ordinary National Education Test (O-Net) for Mathayom 6 (Grade 12) students were not beyond the curriculum, after the agency on Saturday announced that test-takers’ average scores were under 50 per cent in all subjects.

Prathom 6 (Grade 6) and Mathayom 3 (Grade 9) students on average scored under 50 per cent in core subjects in the Ordinary National Education Test (O-Net), results released this week show.
