E-Sarn technological college

Post by Barney » March 9, 2022, 5:04 pm

Has any one had any personal dealings with sending children to this E-Sarn technological college? Up along the Nong Khai rd and turn up the Ban Phue exit about a kilo.

No I do not but if they follow Government Guidelines of a NO FAIL Policy then graduates will be as un-educated as everywhere else !!

Smart lad considering the wipe out of Thai tourism due to the pandemic.

It's a vocational college. The website shows bright young lads making fancy fiberglass boom box enclosures for low-rise pickup trucks and tuning stripped-down crotch rockets. The girls seem to do a lot of cheerleading sort of stuff.

Looks great. I wonder what the pregnancy rates are like?

I'd reckon very high, if this is the place where girl students wear grey-coloured skirts? The selection I've noticed in driving to/fro rates very highly. :fryingpan:

Well, there's a coincidence, I've got to drive that way in a couple of hours, although with the wife accompanying me. any observation will have to be discreet. :-" 8-[

I’ll provide my long winded answer for our members.
Not to many replies, to be expected, but a thanks to Pepesgrill for your 2 on subject posts.
Statts hope the BIL is doing well. There’s money in them Korean hills for Thai workers. We have a couple of young Thai female friends doing quite well money wise up there.

Other posts drifted from the foreign educator eggspert with the same very old diatribe that all Thais are as dumb as dogshyte, to the sick schoolgirl fantasy crew, and then the denegrating profiling of young kids from looking at a couple of pictures online.

In trying to do my due diligence for my young adolescent I have actually visited this school with a long conversation with the boss. Starting this thread I was trying to gauge from others who may have had experience with what we have been told by the college to what actually happens there.
Just trying to think outside the box for our child and yes it is classed as a vocational style school, which pepesgrill has correctly pointed out.
There are 1200 students. Students attend for 3 years. High school yr 4 to final yr 6. After a decade of the failure of the Thai system to educate we are definitely looking at alternatives. 1st year is for the school work to continue along with a mix of the vocational subjects available. 2nd year the main subject is chosen. 3rd year outside work experience is provided with a group of larger companies. Honda, Panasonic etc. insurance,accommodation, food is provided.
3 main groups of subjects are available. Once a subject is chosen the students are then over the next 3 years progressively introduced to the outside work format and will be provided opportunities with large companies to go outside to be trained and eventually given a job. This may be outside if Thailand or in Thailand.
One example being, if a student chooses lets say a motor mechanical course then along with the in school lessons and additional training outside, one company is Honda, the student may even be sent to Japan to finish the course and in depth studies in the Honda vehicle factory. It’s not just, as suggested by one of our esteemed UM posters, young boys working on crotch rockets.
Other courses are Music,
and another is Business Administration which includes, accountancy, marketing etc.

Students are assessed over the 3 years and ongoing completion certificates awarded from the school and selected companies to those who do achieve the required results. It is then up to them if they choose the company opportunity or go in another direction.
As throughout time all over the world adolescent kids need guidance and what I can see, even with my young one, the Thai education system may not get them to the finish line. Especially after no school for 2 Covid years. Not all are kids have the motivation or smart enough to go and do university. Which does not always provide an end result for work opportunities.

Nobody's seriously messed up your thread. As for the "sick schoolgirl fantasy crew", sorry but I don't have any young Thai female friends "doing quite well money wise" in Busan, fruit picking or otherwise. My comments were on what the college itself seemed to be 'eye catching' in their own promotional video on their own website were just that. If someone wants to run with the suggestions and inferences, carry on.

Back on topic, an earnest thanks for the research and doing the legwork. I actually mentioned to my oldest Matthayom II lad yesterday about how statts bro-in-law jacked the idea of the tourism trade and is probably banking big time doing HVAC in Korea. Sewing the seeds of a life-sustaining career in the mind of a teenager who's heavily into basketball, Call of Duty while eating us out of house and home needs these handy openings. Thanks again.

Since my sister inherited the brain gene and went on to squander her university education, I "dropped out" and went the vocational route. I took the passive interest that was instilled by my father in electronics, 405-line monochrome tellys and a fascination with things that go flash, bang and blow 13A ring-mains fuses and went and got qualified by the City & Guilds of London Institute. I ended up as the ubiquitous Radio Rentals 'TV man' replete with the Ford Escort 1100 LC estate car which was handy for lugging my bass guitar and amps to gigs in my short career as a rock star. How that all morphed into becoming the highly acclaimed and much sought after globetrotting big rich oil and gas man that I am now is... convoluted? But the indentured apprenticeship and block release studies at Garrets Green Technical College and Aberdeen TC laid the foundations.

What's your lads interests? Anything that can be leveraged into career studies or employment? Good luck in steering him in the right direction. I will be following and if I glean anything from Mrs tam's parallel search on ways to improve our lads future, I'll post.

My apologies, Barney, if my lightheartedness muddied your serious topic.

I certainly found your post interesting, with a 10 year old son coming out with lots of ideas about the future. I posted myself about where he might go for secondary(high school as you put it) education. Vocational college may be a consideration. At present, just rather hoping he ends up in a quality career/job he really enjoys and pays well. Just to add, I do wonder, on occasions, where a university education leads. I've met a few graduates who seem unable to string together a sentence in English and grab a calculator for the simplest calculation. On the other hand, I'm amazed what some have achieved.

I'd guess the quality varies widely from vocational school to vocational school. My Thai step-grandson is just finishing M 3. He recently sat an entrance test for Udon Pit. We're also open to a vocational school. I don't know if Udon Pit is the right school for him. I suspect not but it's conveniently located for us.

I think Barney has the right idea - looking for a school and course that will open doors after graduation. A kid going that route would be better positioned than coming out of M 6 at say Udon Pit without the ability or study ethic to do a decent course at a Thai university.

Some may be aware of the recent death of a student during hazing at a Korat technical college. Apparently Rajamangala's institutions have some form in this aspect. Maybe something to consider when assessing where to obtain a vocational education safely.

I came across this school today while reading some Thai news articles:
https://www.facebook.com/kaigo.udonthani/
It's near the ringroad/KK hwy intersection.....seems to have a lot of emphasis on working in Japan as apprentice.....learning the language/skills here first.

We know of a youngish husband/wife team who went to Taiwan a few years ago......got jobs in electronics factories (not both at the same place), making slightly less than 30k Baht per month, about 70k Baht in costs for paperwork/contract, no prior experience. The wife seems happy enough living with the other Thai women who work there. The husband (again, at a different plant) isn't happy as he says most of the Thai men there are slackers.
We've known several older Thais who worked in places like Saudi, Libya, Brunei, Israel. Some worked hard and saved their money.......others gambled it away on days off. Those who saved bought shophouses in town and a car/truck when they returned.

Have decided not to utilize this school.
Although a couple of local village lads have chosen the mechanical course starting after the current school holidays.
We have decided to forgo the Thai education system and the daughter will fly to Singapore Monday with her mother to go through the process of enrolling in a Singaporean high school.

Good choice Barney..
I am the son of uneducated parents. Mother left school at 11yrs old. Da was an Irishman who crossed to ocean to **** the brick. I was expelled from High School at 15yrs, due to lack of interest, and it was the best thing to happen to me..Who needs to know what a cumus nimbulus cloud is, or how rain falls on the Serengetti.
I also fecked the brick, and by 19yrs old was looking at buying my first 3 bedroom house, mortage free..I became a Wharfie at 21yr , bought a house at 29yrs, and retired at 35yrs when made redundant with a nice paid out, and bought more land and built a house on a remote island..I became interested in Law, read all the Law books (each 5 times ) that would have seen me obtain a Masters in Law but never went to university. I would go to the law library on a weekend and empty the 5 wheely bins full of photocopied law cases from around the world and on every legal subject. I researched, prepared and presented Law cases for free for some ten years. I had Barristers come to me with knotty legal problems..I have beaten the best legal brains there were in NZ at the time. And me a bushman. I have enough land and houses to sell off and see me thru, and leave my kids with something..
My son came to live with me on the island during his teenage years. There was no high school, only corrospondence school by post..He joined the Australian Army and was the youngest there 16/17yrs. Combat Engineer, Sappers..he got hurt after some years and was discharged, and joined the Police Bomb Squad..

Barney I guess what I am trying to display to you is that an education is not always a winner..I have never had a piece of paper. A certificate. Though I do have one in teaching now I recall...I believe in getting into the workforce at an early age, as this gives you money in the pocket to go toward a car or a house or a section..A rai of rice land is cheap here but a good investment for the future should one need to live somewhere..Also do what you love, you will enjoy work that much better. Nothing worse than a job you dont like..I hated factories and loved the outdoors..find some hobbies too even as a kid,,this bring friends and knowledge..seek out the knowledge...good luck Mate
