Almost 200 university curricula have fallen short of the required standards, the Office of Higher Education Commission (Ohec) said yesterday, adding it would name them on its website shortly. Ohec secretary-general Supat Champatong said the commission took note of the assessment results of the quality of education they provided for the 2015 and 2016 academic years. He said 182 out of 9,099 curricula failed to reach the standards required by the commission for those two consecutive years. He described naming the universities which fail to meet standards as a necessary step to ensure students get the education they deserve. "The commission has no power to order universities to stop enroling students or close their curricula directly, but it can seek their cooperation," said Mr Supat.
