Thai School Scandal | 101 East

From regulating the length of students’ hair to what they wear and how they behave, Thailand’s schools have long been a place where one must abide by strict rules. In some schools, the power imbalance between students and teachers has left children exposed to abuse, bullying and humiliating punishments.

101 East investigates the school scandals that have shocked a nation and finds out what is really going on inside Thailand’s classrooms.
