BANGKOK (NNT) - The Education Ministry has prepared a host of activities for students, ahead of the first semester of this academic year on June 1st.

 

Education Minister Treenuch Thienthong said the ministry has already devised various plans for May 17th through 31st so students can use the time wisely ahead of the new term, which was postponed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools.

 

She said the country is now in the grip of a third wave of the pandemic and it is widely feared that the situation could get worse. The ministry does not want children to lose any opportunities to further their studies and it is important that their parents feel reassured about their well-being.

 

Ms. Treenuch added that, when schools reopen on June 1st, teaching will be organized through five channels: at school under strict conditions; on TV, via the DLTV education channel; on-demand, through online applications; via the internet and through courses organized by the print media.

You just know they will announce 2 weeks of national public holidays for 1-14 June

But I think the schools will not open on the 1st of July. No teachers are vaccinated and the infections and dead tolls are rising...

I just can't see that happening... June will be another extension of the break.

'Activities' meaning marching up and down with flags in scout uniforms twice a day and singing the National Anthem several times a day.    And of course the usual days out for Teachers paid for by the Tax Payer.   More 'Robots' on the way then at the end of term !

She can proclaim '5 channels' but the reality is that local school districts and local schools will make their own plans. 

What a complete load of rubbish, the level of Thais learning anything using a rote system is virtually non existent.

I've come to the dad conclusion that I'm going to have to do a LOT of home schooling... 

New style of brainwashing to love the junta and, oh I mean mind mapping.
