That's what I heard from my schools admin as well.
Hopefully the MoE will organise to issue a receipt to cover those whose visa and WP renewals are near, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

We must not confuse statistical probability with some transcendental and utterly compelling force.
That's what we were told.
So anyway, as one poster has already pointed out, "in the sticks" it's still very common to get a work permit without a teacher's license. At least at public schools. bangkok obviously not.
It's my understanding that the licensing procedure is actually being transferred to a sub department in the Department of Commerce. That's based on a long article that I read in the Post yesterday.
This really has a potential to inflict serious pain. But then again, TIT.

A Thai Facebook friend's status update
I'll call the bluff of the OP and say it's a troll thread.
We'll see Organised Chaos rear her ugly head in the near future and start a supply and demand thread, again.
Any poster who associates themselves with the Piss Train, lacks credibility in my books.
Where I work we were just told that we have to go take the Thai Culture course in late February. Cost: 6 grand.
The Thai culture course is simple. What will be more difficult is the requirement of a BEd/PGCE, etc to cover the requirement of teaching credits. Or you can run the gauntlet and have a bash at the four exams which require passes. At the end of the day, they might end up accepting 3 years teaching experience in lieu of the teaching credits, as otherwise there might be a great shortage of teachers in the next 2-3 years or so.
Stamp, Av8tor....I'm paying attention now.
I work at a government school and therefore am not required under the current rules to have a TL. Had one at the private schools I worked at. Haven't heard anything about this but will ask the paperwork people tomorrow about it.
It wouldn't friggin surprise me that the HOD knows about it but is "reluctant" to share the good news with us poor dumb farangs.

Our HOD has been doing an ostrich imitation on all of it. And assuring us that there's no problems. Has had to do several about-faces on the course, licensing procedure, and now immigration. On the plus side, this little centralized, standardized licensing scheme is throwing a monkey-wrench into the workings of a bunch of little local fiefdoms.
We've already got one farang with a Teachers Council license (BEd and course) and another package in BKK for review (BSc+foreign credential+course). If Stamp's exam marks come in okay, that would prove up a third way to get it. Last option would be the culture course plus a year's worth of weekends in the Rajabaht alternative certification course. I don't know any farangs in this, but one of the degreed non-BEd Thai teachers I work with is taking it now.
Our requisite boot-licking, back-stabbing falang teacher/program assistant has been going along with his mentor, and is now dependent on whatever 'waiver' system gets put in place. And entering his 3rd year, so this might be the end of his time in-country.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
As I said in an earlier thread identical to this one, in Phuket we are getting licenses. Is this crapola only happening in BKK??

Nope.
Nope. Chonburi / Pattaya same
Thanks for the RED some months ago.
Topper,
Your teacher's license was always there. From the very beginning. You consider yourself as a rational, concrete and objective thinking and acting person, don't you?
All your papers, passport, degrees, certiificates, etc, papers such as school information, a map, foreign employees and a letter from the director were sent to Labour. Yet, there was another letter. Same logo as your director's letter but the name and function were stamped in blue. The signature on that paper (in black) looked western? Yes or no, Topper?
Well, damn, Topper, that's your upcountry TL.

Our principal informed staff and teachers yesterday afternoon, that the indefinite suspension of TLs will only apply to non-native speakers of English.
So the Welsh are clear, pheewww!
As I stated in a staffroom thread, I received a waiver that allows me three years to complete the requirements for a teacher's license.
