webfact Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Classroom time to be reduced in ‘education upgrade’ By THE NATION Natthapol Teepsuwan The Education Ministry said on Monday it will upgrade the education system next year by reducing the time students spend in classroom in order to boost personal learning time. Education Minister Natthapol Teepsuwan said the move was part of an ongoing push to improve Thai education in 2021. He added that the new budget for school lunches will soon be proposed to the Cabinet as a “gift to students”. Natthapol also said more foreign teachers would be back in the classroom soon, after many were barred from returning to Thailand due to the Covid-19 travel ban.

I'm in Grade 8 and my teacher came in and said, "OK, everyone leave....go walk around and explore the school, boost your personal learning time!!!" then I heard snoring. and then I had to google "boost," since that word is difficult then I spent the next 9798798 hours on my phone Years later I was becoming a doctor and my boss said, "come here, learn how to fix this man's brain." I said, "leave, give me personal learning time!!!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henry Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Same mentality as every weekend a long weekend. Less work more productivity, Who employs these clowns that come up only with popularity policies. Development come through sacrifice and hard work. No problems mum and dad can buy my qualifications when I decide to start work. Then I can get employment with the government and introduce a three day working week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What a joke. And, didn't they already reduce class time several years ago? How did that turn out? Well, let's see... Thailand's English grade ranking has fallen, not improved, the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caldera Posted December 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 If they cut out the indoctrination and Thainess "education", there's apparently very little left that they are actually teaching and thus wouldn't require a lot of time. I have the feeling that this isn't what he has in mind though! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfHuy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Probably the "brain" behind this idea invested heavily in a private school and hopes that more students will join the private sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfHuy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Or: children who finish secondary school are smarter than the ones in charge of the country. Can't let them get to smart hence, less time at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrec Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It's academic that the Thai education system at all levels really requires reform; from schools to universities. Unformatley, the goal of the education systems here is not to fail students at all costs (first hand experience). Until, this issue is addressed the Thai education system will be the statuesque of the bygone years (it is what it is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
