English Program
Visuttharangsi English Program has one of the highest turnover rates of teachers in Thailand. This may be due in part by the administrations inability to to honour contractual agreements. Like many schools in Thailand, it is rumoured that foreign teachers are required to sing and dance on command. Others speculate the turnover rate is due to a lack of discipline amongst the schools growing number of bourgeois students.
After leaving Visuttharangsi, a high percentage of former employees have sought employment in other countries such as Myanmar, China, and New Zealand. They have suggested that the torturous experiences at Visuttharangsi have forever disinclined them from teaching in Thailand. One former teacher, who had been given the tedious task of completing lesson plans, was locked inside the school after working late into the evening. He was forced to climb down a coconut tree.
