Prayut offers a lesson ahead of Teachers Day

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has urged teachers and students to be good and have faith in what they’re doing so they can succeed.

Education Minister Teerakiat Jareonsettasin, Teachers Council of Thailand Secretariat executives, teachers and students met the premier prior to Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting, along with singers Patcha Anek-ayuwat and Kiatkamol “Tui” Lata.

 

The visitors gave him an orchid symbolising National Teachers Day on January 16 and CDs of songs about teachers’ merits.

 

Prayut noted that the motto of Teachers Day this year was “Good students are successful because teachers have faith”.

 

Prayut will preside at the main event that day at the secretariat in Bangkok, while regional events take place on January 16-17 at provincial education offices.

 

The theme translates as “Celebrating the King’s reign and promoting Thai teachers’ development”, honouring His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn and recognising the merits of professional educators.

 

A Line sticker has also been produced for Teachers Day, with downloads raising money for a foundation that helps elderly retired teachers.

Same old, same old. Tell people to do things without offering any advice or thinking it through. Certainly never advice that is in any way plausible.

 

PM: "Poor people, save for the future!"

Poor People: "With what money?"

PM: (points finger) "I don't like your questions! Now be good!"

 

 

 

 

The Generals advice!

" Prayut noted that the motto of Teachers Day this year was “Good students are successful because teachers have faith”. "

 This is so off in so many ways.... fine example of political fluff statement. No mention of capable teachers with skills to educate, high standards and accountability, community and parental support, comprehensive curriculum.

Faith and 18 baht will get you an ice coffee at 7/11

The abysmal state of the Thai education system is just another example where the Prayut government has failed to make meaningful reforms. I'm starting the think that staging the coup on the basis of making reforms was not the real intent...

Good students may be successful because parents have paid!

judging by the reporting here, there was little-to-no content at the meeting;

thus that meeting boiled down to the photo-op;
