Surprise... kids don't read and write very good already before the Covid, and now with 1 year no lessons it wold not improve.. The education ministry should ban 50 kids classes as some schoola have mixed classes. How can you prperly teach kids if you don't have a minute a kid in a lesson?

The Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) insisted on school’s first semester nationwide starting on May 15th, 2022, as online courses had gradually affected children’s reading and writing abilities.

Looking at the neighbours 9 year old daughter and three of her friends who come to play together daily I don't think they've had a single online lesson from the start of school closures.

As for reading and writing it's zero understanding, most mornings when they arrive they greet me with good afternoon or evening.?

In other words, "on-site" education never worked very well either. Not that the Education Commission would admit to this...

Well its difficult for it to work when very many students do not have a pad or a  computer,  or indeed a viable cheap/free to students internet, or literate parents who could help them navigate the online lessons. It was always going to fail.

My 13 year old nephew is attending a pre school English program. No uniforms yet. He arrived home today and said his teacher said his hair is too long and his shorts are too short? This is one of the reasons Thai education is so badly lacking. Some teachers are still ensconced in the dark ages. It would be bad enough if he was wearing a uniform, but an informal dress course after months of online schooling? Why would students want to go back to school to be subjected to being ridiculed by these dinosaurs? What is more infuriating is my wife's acceptance of it, with the remark "This is Thailand." Yes. We know. And all the time it's citizens behave like sheep nothing will change.????
