Thai PhD statistics
25,000 PhD students in 1,000 programmes, up from 1,380 students in 2008,
has led to decline in quality, putting profit before quality.
The agency randomly inspected 17 PhD programmes at seven universities. "We were surprised to find that only nine meet our standards,''
The seven universities audited by Ohec this year were Assumption University, Chulalongkorn University, Eastern University of Management and Technology, Chiang Mai Rajabhat University, Buriram Rajabhat University, Silpakorn University and University College of the Crown (East Campus).

According to the Ohec, there are now at least 1,000 PhD programmes being offered at a total of 33 Thai universities.
Mr Supat said the number of enrolled PhD students in Thailand ballooned to over 25,000 last year, up more than 18-fold from 1,380 in 2008 (which is an over 1700% increase: (25,000 - 1380) / 1380).
