A group of parents dissatisfied with the quality of public education in Surat Thani have set up a micro-school, which an expert said reflects the urgent need to reform the education system. Niwat Hoteakim, adviser to the Youth Creative Group behind the school, said Little Unicorn House has 19 students. Mr Niwat said the school's students learn by engaging in projects and activities based on their interests. Mr Sompong said the emergence of micro-schools in Thailand reflects the urgent need to reform the education system, to allow students to better catch up with the fast-changing world. "Perhaps, this can lead to changes within our school system."
