The case involving teaching assistants Wanalee Thunmak of Sukhothai and Nirawan Cheuboonmee of Loei created a controversy after the two women’s credential were rejected. When the committee checked the recruitment process and found that the two women did not match the proposed qualifications, it was unable to approve their appointments, Samrit said. Approvals would have violated regulations and incurred damages for the committee, he said, adding that his office had notified the Secondary Education Service Area Office 38 twice about the problem. Samrit said remedial measures helping the two women would be the responsibility of the central agency, adding that the committee would be stricter in screening teaching positions in the future. Both said they were shocked on October 24 to discover that they could not officially be hired because the Tak Education Committee had not approved their qualifications.
