Another subject that not so many students in education take is "special education" for students with special needs. For example, in 2016, 11 universities were found to have taken in more teaching students than permitted. The term is used to describe "out-of-field" teaching -- teaching a subject without specific training in that subject. For example, they have limited the maximum number of teaching students in each programme to 30 and the student-teacher ratio must be 10:1, she said. "If teachers' licences are more specific, it would guarantee that we will have more quality teachers who have a deep understanding of the subjects to do the job,'' Ms Sombat said.
