Under the guidance of General Prayut Chan-ocha, the budgetary of this administration is like a rerun of bad movies

As the party responsible for the rice scheme, accusing others of budgetary mismanagement is a classic example of glass houses and stones.

Figures don’t lie. Education expenditures under civilian government were much higher than military government. In contrast, military budget has been increasing every year under Prayut’s government. For some strange reason, defense budget decrease for 2023. Perhaps anticipating a civilian government. 

General government expenditure on education (current, capital, and transfers) is expressed as a percentage of GDP. It includes expenditure funded by transfers from international sources to government. General government usually refers to local, regional and central governments.

That reminds of of those millions of tablets

Meh. 

 

That the newly installed Junta went to great efforts to retrieve these tablets ...

 

The junta's social and psychological affairs unit scrapped the controversial "one tablet per child" policy initiated by Yingluck Shinawatra's Pheu Thai government less than a month after the May 2014 coup.

 

 

says much about how effective the program may have been, that it had to be "controlled". And the junta cancelled the program.

 

Instead, the money will be used to expand the satellite-based Klaikangwon Palace distance-learning programme to cover schools nationwide and provide resources for impoverished schools.

 

Also says a lot about you.

 

 

The graft at the MoE is LEGENDARY.

Education? Forget it, those in charge of education do not want an educated electorate

Yes, this is a feature of the thai edumacation system.

 

An edumacated populace will get all pesky and ask uncomfortable questions. And, shudder, raise three fingers.

To be sure there is no misunderstanding: This is the case at least since decades, more likely since forever in Thailand. Also previous governments, who some people see as heroes, didn't improve the education system.

Have you seen the curriculum for Thai schools!!

 

Example : History is about all the Thai kings - no actual Asian history & def not world history.

You are right...Even their king names are based on Hindu God named Rama! I am sure most Thais have no clue.

Education needs thinking and thinking opens eyes and the Thai population will see than  what is wrong and they want changes.... And the army based Government  doesn't want that.. They are in power and want to stay in power... So indoctrinate and brainwash the kids how good Thailand is and how bad the rest of the world and stay in power is their device Most Thais know nothing about what is going on in the rest of the world, World War 2 , no idea, even no idea what tourists want and do on holidays, or where the countries and cultures are.... Everything to keep the sight in the own country which is the best in the world . And those who stand up are being charged with section 112, unrest, and knocked down....

Spot-on.

Do you actually know if the scheme was bonafide and effective, or was it just another scam by Pheu Thai?
