ABOUT HALF of Thailand’s university seats remain empty for the next academic year after four of the five central admission system’s rounds have been completed. Then came Tuesday’s announcement of results from the fourth round, for which there were only 76,408 candidates. If all candidates agree to take the seats offered in the fourth round, there will still be 217,250 seats vacant. In the same round, 1,128 students vied for merely 35 seats at Burapha University’s Faculty of Nursing. The Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Allied Health Sciences also had 1,078 fighting for the 110 seats available for them in the fourth round.
