Teacher's Exam Passing Annulled, Lawmaker Vows Justice

MP Natakorn Utho of the Khalasin province, Pheu Thai Party, posted about Teacher Nim's case on Facebook on July 1, 2026. Teacher Nim, the youngest daughter of an elderly white-haired farmer from Som Poh village, was raised by her mother alone in difficult circumstances. Teachers unanimously praised her as a dedicated and hardworking student who never gave up on education. She pursued higher education and became a physics teacher, a highly sought-after profession.

Teacher Nim worked as a contract teacher for four years. Every time the civil service exam was held, she passed with good scores, but was never called to serve because her ranking was insufficient. Eventually, the Office of Basic Education Commission held a special exam for contract teachers with over three years of service. Teacher Nim passed first and received both an appointment letter and a call notice.

She immediately resigned from her original school. Her school held a farewell ceremony where students wrote letters of congratulations mixed with sadness. Back home, villagers celebrated her success as the village's hope—she had passed without paying a single baht for the position.

Teacher Nim paid for new accommodation, arranged relocation, and contacted her assigned school to begin her proud civil service career. Then came a thunderbolt: the university administering the exam reported a marking error, dropping Teacher Nim to second place.

Her mother's tears of joy turned to tears of sorrow. Teacher Nim is her only hope, and the farmworker mother's tearstains remain on the MP's chest. The MP vowed to pursue this through legal channels and filed complaints with the education minister and administrative court, questioning how anyone can believe in justice when systematic corruption pervades the civil service. He noted this is not an isolated case but one of many victims of injustice.
