[snoop1130]

 

The Thai cabinet agreed on Tuesday to present “New Year gifts” to people in the Deep South. They include a free lunch program for children attending religious schools, nutritional food and vitamin supplements for mothers and their children, promotion of the learning of foreign languages and development of language skills among students.

 

Another “gift” from the government is the promotion of the restive provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat and four districts in Songkhla as “the world’s Halal food and services hub.”

 

Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said that the government intends to solve the nutrition problem among small children in the Deep South by providing nutritional food and vitamin supplements to about 46,000 mothers and young children.

First they need to find students who are willing to learn foreign languages and development of language skills... In 20 years of teaching I didn't find so many students who were motivated unless it was copying.  Free lunch for religious schools??? Did not eat yet in these schools or did the Government not pay already for food ?? It seems more a public stunt to win votes that truly gifts
