BANGKOK (NNT) Concerning school precautionary measures against COVID-19, after they resumed in-person classes yesterday, the Education Minister, Nataphol Teepsuwan, visited Satriwithaya School in Bangkok this morning to observe the situation, and reminded students to make a diary of where they have been during the day, to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in the event of another outbreak.

 

Satriwithaya School is in full operation for the second day today. The school continues to implement the same measures as when the students had to take classes on alternate days. They still have to go through temperature checks, cleanse their hands with alcohol gel and wear protective masks. The school has taken additional social distancing measures by refraining from organizing outdoor activities and having students line up in front of their classrooms.

 

The Education Minister said his ministry made preparations for schools, teachers, students and their guardians in the past month. In the event of another outbreak, students will have to attend classes on alternate days again, and the ministry will only close the schools where infections are found. Students are encouraged to keep a record of the places they have visited and the activities in which they have participated after school to help limit the spread of COVID-19. It will take some time for schools to return to operating smoothly.

 

The overall situation is satisfactory, with all schools cooperating and strictly following the public health measures. The ministry will raise the schools’ full operation test at the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) meeting. If no infections are reported, the centre will consider allowing schools to organize outdoor and group activities.

I hope that is not the English textbook he is looking through. 

The ones I have seen are riddled through with grammatical and spelling errors.

Not to worry as he is the minister of education and has no understanding of English.

His English skills are excellent and he is doing his utmost to try to change the current system for the better. The problem is that he cannot do it single handedly. I suggest that you have a look at his CV.
