Education Ministry Postpones Children’s Day Event

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Education has postponed its annual Children’s Day event at the Teachers Council Auditorium in Bangkok to prevent a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.

 

Education Minister Trinuch Thienthong announced the postponement of the Children’s Day celebration event for 2022 at the Teachers Council Auditorium. The event typically features an award ceremony for children and youths who positively represent Thailand. The 250 participants also have a chance to meet the Prime Minister in an auditorium and receive plaques honoring their achievements.

 

Minister Trinuch said the ceremony ran the risk of spreading COVID-19 despite being organized under stringent public health measures.

 

She noted, however, that the ministry had not ordered the cancellation of any local activities, but organizers must consult with provincial communicable diseases committees to determine whether or not an event should take place. Organizers and participants must also strictly follow disease prevention measures by requiring that attendees present proof of being fully vaccinated. They must also provide evidence of testing negative for COVID no more than 72 hours in advance.

 

The education minister added that her ministry will decide when and how activities will be rescheduled based on the developing situation to ensure the safety of the children and their parents.

So the first time in almost 40 years of living here we will not be able to see the Army boys showing their latest trophies in purchasing to the kids - as usually taking place in other years. 

The dirty farang, alien, jeck, kaek and other non-Thais also will not have to get excited over the fact, that they may NOT visit the Chakri Naruebet aircraft carrier, firmly grown with barnacles to the port's sidewall - for strategic reasons ???? 

Take the kids to play on a playground or at the beach; much better than this self-profiling of this ridiculous army!

A once very famous Carlos said: 'let the children play', and not visit militairy bases. What we see in our Moo Ban is that most children stay indoors and probably play video games. Every evening there used to be at least 20 to 30 kids playing outside. My kids, always outside, are now cycling and skating alone. Sad to see the Covid having such an enormous effect on the behavior of the younger ones.

I'm sure most kids will be happy they can do their own thing...

However if teachers day on Sun 16th is cancelled that means they don't get to show off their pristine whites!!!!

So the kids won't get to play with guns again this year, thank god.

  Is it no wonder Thailand has a gun culture. Time this was stopped.
