BANGKOK, 1 November 2017 (NNT) - The Prime Minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha has affirmed that the government is ready to develop education to produce graduates that meets the country’s labor needs. 

Ahead of the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Prayut, the Education Minister, Dr. Teerakiat Jareonsettasin, presented the results of the "2nd Education to Employment: Vocational Boot Camp", organized from October 2nd - 31st.

The students: “we had a dream, a dream we were told was too idealistic, too courageous, too hard and too beautiful to achieve—and that dream was to meet labor market needs.”

Don't these twerps love their 22nd century-sounding project names. Prayut locks them in a room and tells 'em to shout when they've thought of a good one. Here are 2 absolute gems that do the usual . . . they leave us all without the foggiest idea what they're trying to achieve. 'Boot camp', I dig, but what the hell is 2nd Education to Employment? 'Local Needs', also gets the nod but, again, I'm left asking "What the fack is New Engine of Growth?"

 

And then comes the bombshell that Prayut must have been so proud to drop on the meeting . . . he's asked the vocational students’ representative to urge their underclassmen not to resort to violence, amid ongoing controversy over violent student rivalries. If Thai students get any more violent, the army will be putting them into adjustment centres, rather than these airy-fairy sounding 'new' and 'existing innovations'. Does Prayut ever look into the root causes of the student unrest? It has to be more than local rivalry, surely.

 

It's you that needs innovating, Prayut, and the sooner you realise that and put yourself out to grass, the better for Thailand and the wider world, too . . . the wider world in which Thailand USED TO PLAY A PART.

 

Here's the man himself, showing how not to be violent.

Not sure if he knows what is going on.  He is quick to praise but lacks specifics and details.  Just more posturing and pontification as per usual.
