Representatives from the National Institute of Educational Testing Service, which is under fire for poorly managing the tests, and the Office of Higher Education Commission will attend.

They will discuss options to the controversial tests and decide whether or not to revert to the old entrance examination system.

Prachya, the rector of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, said he thought the previous system should not be brought back since it was abolished a few years ago to make way for the O-Net and A-Net system, which was used for the first time this year.

"It's difficult to reconstitute the entire entrance system unless a new organisation is set up to specifically handle this task, as it would be difficult to reunite those responsible for it in the past to work out the whole system again," he said.

The meeting will also discuss whether the weighting of the grade-point average and cumulative grade-point average should be increased from the current 30 per cent to 40 per cent.

Also on the agenda will be whether the open-ended questions should be scrapped from the O-Net and A-Net exams, leaving only multiple-choice questions. Critics of the new exams say those who grade the open-ended questions use different standards.

Meanwhile, Yos Tansakul, the leader of the Students Network for Democracy, called for caretaker Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang and ministry officials responsible for the fiasco to resign.
