NIETS held an online meeting with the committee at the examination hall level for the O-NET testing at grades 6 and 9 in the academic year 2024.

On January 13, 2025, the National Institute of Educational Testing Service (Public Organization) organized an online meeting with the committee at the examination hall level for the O-NET testing of grades 6 and 9 in order to prepare the testing organization and the practical operation of the committee. The participants included 58 locations of working groups at the examination center level, committees at the examination hall level in the positions of leaders, digital testing system officers of the examination hall, room management, and exam invigilators from 370 venues.

The Chief of the Testing Administration and Center Network Division (Mr. Pattana Thanakorn) welcomed the participants and announced the rescheduled O-NET testing for grade 6 students in the academic year 2024 as follows: Due to the Office of The Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) announcing the national election day for Provincial Administrative Organizations (PAOs) on Saturday, February 1, 2025, which will be the same date as the O-NET testing for grade 6 students, NIETS has considered the importance of elections and encouraged people to participate in politics by exercising their right to vote under a democratic system. NIETS therefore decided to postpone the O-NET testing date for grade 6 students to be held nationwide on Monday, February 3, 2025. The timetable, subject code, subjects, and test duration will be in accordance with the original test schedule. (Click to read announcement) The meeting topics explained the management of the O-NET testing using the digital testing system, roles and responsibilities and procedures at the examination halls, the use of test documents, and practical guidelines in various cases.
