ORIGINAL POSTERQuestion... my son is on a 1 year ED visa... he is in his last year of high school and his school is asking for some hours of community service and internship to complete his high school diploma...
Isn’t it against the law? Or maybe high school students got a special status...

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around a parent questioning the legality of a Thai school's requirement for community service and internships for students on an ED visa to fulfill high school diploma requirements. Commenters clarify that if the community service and internship are part of the school's educational program, it should not conflict with visa regulations. Some express concern about the challenges of finding an internship, but it appears that these requirements are standard for completing the diploma.

How easy would it be to get someone to agree to give them an internship to complete his diploma?? So if no internship offered then no diploma! Seems a bit harsh?

yeah... we are still trying to figure it out... most of the other kids are interested in hospitality or management... so I heard it was quite easy for them to find something... My son is much more into sciences ... biology... he has no idea yet how he is going to do that.

If it is part of their education program it is no problem.
