The Office of the Basic Education Commission (Obec) has ordered the transfer of a teacher from a prominent school in Bangkok following shocking allegations of sexual misconduct involving nearly 30 students.
A disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate, with the teacher facing the maximum penalty of dismissal or removal from government service if found guilty.
The case emerged when students and a trainee teacher, supported by the activist group Sai Mai Tong Rod, filed complaints with police.
