From the past every government try to solve Thai education by launching the free tuition policy. But it seems not work or not effective at all for many years. Thai education system needs to be reformed not just to learn for free.
Government has launched 15 years tuition free policy. The policy itself aims at the fair distribution of education. But in the real world the students need the opportunity to learn equally effective. It would be useless if the education itself is not good or effective.
The resolution of political problems, Corruption, Family problems, Drugs, Prostitution and other social problems rest on “Education”. Therefore, government should take the quality of education as a serious issue. Quality of education involves the quality of teachers and of the textbooks. These two elements are vital in the process of producing good quality students who will become good adults in the future.
“In far-away provinces, the public schools have only few quality teachers and some have none,” said Mrs Aucharapan Kerdkaew, a teacher at Kasetsart University Demonstration School, “the government should increase public school teachers’ salary to motivate people to apply for public school teacher jobs because nobody wants to be public school teachers due to a low salary.”

Government should not launch the tuition free policy to be just another proof that the government is working. And to do so, there is just another opportunity for the politicians and greedy merchants to corrupt. Government should solve the real cause of educational problems and listen to people voices.
According to Suan Dusit Poll, survey about the education reform, 88% said that it is the time to reform Thai education system because of all Thailand social problems can be solved with the quality education.
Many people believe that good education will make the students graduate with quality and can work effectively. Some wish every school will have good quality and internationally recognised, want Moral, Ethics, and Cultures to be included in the lessons. Moreover people demand that everyone should receive the same quality in education especially the students in rural areas. Therefore, tuition free policy is not a right answer for solving Thai educational problems.
