snoop1130 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Prayut says kids must study online until pandemic eases By The Nation Prayut Chan-o-cha Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has emphasised that students must study online until the Covid-19 situation improves and schools can reopen, government spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said on Monday (May 18). She added the government was trying to address problems of accessibility and affordability of teaching materials, parental care, and responsibility of learners. “Initially, we will focus on reducing study time in the classroom, parents’ readiness, and relieving the burden of sending children to school, which will also help to reduce traffic congestion,” she said. “Meanwhile, we urge education-related authorities to secure people’s cooperation until the Covid-19 outbreak is resolved.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30388060 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-05-18 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually maybe they have, the people who cannot find a way or afford it don't need an education for what their futures holds..

This is one of the reasons I struggle to believe the figures Thailand puts out. 3 new cases but schools can't open? I suspect that low figures will be a factor in many countries for quite some time after the pandemic is formally considered over. How low do they have to get before he removes all restrictions?

Russia one month ago had virtually none, now they are at 300,000....schools, bars, anywhere people are close is a breeding ground....taking the virus home to breadwinners will just add to the problem 1 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 You mean the pandemic that doesn't effect children? Don't worry about it Uncle Tu. The new generation of uneducated kids can replace the Burmese laborers in the neo-feudal Thailand that you all are building. Who needs school? Shoot the proles the horns and tell them to eat rice chaft. You're doing a great job! 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 18 minutes ago, Yorkshire Tea said: OK to open the malls, but not schools? Kids are mobile disease vectors. They can spread a disease more effectively than anything on Earth! If one student with a cold or flu comes to a primary classroom he or she is guaranteed to infect at least two or three classmates. They are especially likely to spread C19, as children are usually asymptomatic and won't even know that they have caught it and are spreading it. Most schools in Thailand are scheduled to start on July 1 and most Thais live in extended 3 or 4 generation families, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a wave of grandparents falling ill in late July. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusb Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Internet access- they may have internet but most of the students I taught at high school and uni were very careful of data charges, they always looked for free wifi. A few hours of online classes each day will use a lot of data. The policy is going to help with traffic!!!!! Ok, its true, but certainly shouldn't be used as a reason to teach online. They have already changed the school year and announced it. No October break, short songkran holiday. That should take care of it, why do they insist on making it so much more difficult then they have too. If they do online for 6 weeks then start a regular semester they'll be overwhelmed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there were problems, and it was put back to 12, that didn't work, she might start tomorrow, or if they can't do that, maybe the 25th of May. Wait out. The app/system cannot cope with the numbers... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketyo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 “Initially, we will focus on reducing study time in the classroom, parents’ readiness, and relieving the burden of sending children to school, which will also help to reduce traffic congestion,” she said. Because the good thing about children not going to school and people going to work is that there is no traffic congestion? Is that the logic here? Well now that we know this, let's ban schools forever. Then there will be little traffic. Amazing. She is paid to say sensible things when politicians ca't be trusted to do that. What hope does Thailand have!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use Google Classroom or Google Meeting, or both; they work, and that's what some of the International schools are using, they didn't have a break in March and April, and continue till around mid July.
