More than 100 students from Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthen Thawai Campus, gathered in front of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) to express their opposition to the relocation of the institution.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation met with the students and accepted their request, confirming that the matter would be discussed with the Minister to find the most appropriate solution for all parties. He also emphasized that all agencies and relevant individuals must fully perform their duties in accordance with the law and established regulations.

This event is considered a significant issue of public interest as it relates to an ongoing conflict regarding the educational site. The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation has affirmed that it will listen to all demands and proceed with caution to ensure fairness for all parties involved in this case.
