The newly implemented Thai University Central Admission System (TCAS) aims to make it less stressful and promises more equality. Even the well-off complained about the cost whereas low-income families couldn't afford it, depriving their children of equal opportunity for a university education. However, there's a stigma to vocational education due to the perception that graduates have less career opportunities and end up with a meagre income. Swiss youths can continue their academic studies or opt for VET after completing compulsory education. Last week, the National News Bureau reported how the Thai government is ready to develop vocational education to produce graduates that meet the country's labour needs, following the successful organisation of the "Education To Employment: Vocational Boot Camp".
