A group of parents dissatisfied with the quality of public education in Surat Thani have set up a micro-school. An expert said the school 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. Parents do not worry about accreditation at the Little Unicorn House, as they are assured that teaching instructions are given out only by those devoted to their children's education. Little Unicorn House, he said, does not consider national education standards relevant to the needs of children, so it seeks to develop a curriculum that inspires passion and learning by focusing on real-world knowledge.
