snoop1130 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Thailand’s Education and Public Health ministries have adopted several measures in preparation for the resumption of on-site classes on May 17th at schools across the country, after almost two years of online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although numerous safety measures are in place, they are less restrictive than they were at the start of the pandemic, to reflect the changing situation which saw new COVID-19 infections and deaths steadily slowing after the Songkran holidays.

Popular Post zzaa09 Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 Wow. This is almost embarrassing. Way behind the curve. Should've been implemented a year ago with all the usual protocol of in-class teaching in order. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kenchamp Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2022 Still way to cautious for my liking and my son wont be having any booster jab anytime soon. The desks can now be a metre apart instead of 1.5 metres but the kids must wear a mask all day and no talking without a mask on. Huh? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm fairly certain that masks will have to be worn at schools long after they are no longer required elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it has and always will be, pass them up to the next level or until they stop going at 12, then put them to work on the fields or shops until old enough to he put on their backs to make money for mama and papa. For whatever reason education seems not to be important in this country, many do not even know their cou tries history nor have they visited the true historical sites.

Golden Triangle Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 On a more serious note, I'll be happy when the 17th gets here, the noisy brat next door won't be around for most of the day and hopefully have homework to do instead of being a royal PITA all day screaming and making a right racket from dawn till dusk, sorry if I come across as an old grumpy bar steward but it's been too long and the parents seem to be deaf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bday Prang Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I assume that the teachers who have had to struggle on (just) their full salaries during the closures will be happy to return too, in order to recommence the usual supplementary salary enhancement schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I got paid in full every month, but I'll gladly resume my normal teaching duties for more normality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilornis Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Amazed that classes are only just beginning. Hard to think of many other countries where the children have been absent from school for so long. Malaysia which is very conservative on the pandemic has had full schooling for 6 months and during the second half of 2021 it had senior classes back. One of the problems faced in Malaysia was the lack of technology for online learning faced by many families. They simply could not afford multiple mobile phones let alone laptops. The Govt gave out some free data allowance which helped but it was less than ideal to say the least. Good to see the kids back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
