The parents of 43 students who were denied admission to Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School on Monday lodged a complaint against the school's director to the Royal Thai Police, alleging irregularities in the entrance process. The school director, the parents said, failed to explain why their children were denied seats in Mathayom 4 (Grade 10), despite scoring above the passing grade of 2.0. The other 42 students received a 2.5 score, and they were also denied seats," said one parent, Pornweenas, 43, who chose to withhold her last name. Mr Nakboon said he has also accompanied the parents to petition Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan on June 15, after the school rejected the students without giving the parents sufficient explanation. In the complaint, the parents also accused the school's director of asking parents for donations in exchange for guaranteed admission to Mathayom 4 at the school.
