Uthenthawai Campus Relocation Update
The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation confirms that Uthenthawai campus cannot return to its original location, citing adherence to committee resolutions.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) has addressed inquiries regarding the status of the Uthenthawai campus. During a parliamentary session, officials clarified that the institution must comply with the resolutions set forth by the Committee on Higher Education Standards (KYP). Consequently, the campus cannot be relocated back to its original site.
To accommodate students affected by this decision, the administration is providing options for them to transfer to campuses located closer to their homes. This development is part of a long-standing administrative and legal dispute regarding the land and the institution's operational site. For residents and visitors, this situation highlights ongoing institutional changes within Bangkok's educational landscape, which may impact local traffic or student movement patterns in the areas surrounding the affected campuses.
While the ministry has confirmed the impossibility of returning to the previous location, details regarding the specific timeline for student transfers and the long-term future of the original site remain to be confirmed. Stakeholders are advised to monitor official announcements from the university and the ministry for further updates on the transition process.
