United voices: Education associations list criteria for next Thai minister

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s National Association of Secondary School Administrators, along with the National Parents and Teachers Association and the Basic Education Committee of Thailand, released a joint statement outlining six desired traits for the country’s next Minister of Education and its deputy.

 

The groups stressed that the roles require individuals with solid educational experience, capable of addressing the current challenges faced by the country’s youth.

 

The statement was announced by Narin Channadu, Director of Karnjananukhro School and President of the National Association of Secondary School Administrators (NASSA). It was highlighted that the education sector plays a crucial role in shaping Thailand’s future, hence the need for ministers who possess the qualities outlined by the associations.

 

The statement detailed that the minister should be knowledgeable and experienced in managing education, understand the issues and have a vision for driving Thai education to solve the problems facing today’s youth. The minister should also have a vision for setting policies and plans for managing Thai education, which at the moment lacks consistency across pre-primary, primary, and secondary levels.

I don't know him but Pol. Gen. Permpoon Chidchob, Education Minister doesn't seem to fit the bill. Having said that, if he's able to bring together people with the necessary experience and listen to them, then there's no reason he couldn't do a good job.

The new "elected" Prime Minister has thus far proven that he is a parasitic politician rather than an intelligent businesspeson - the latter appoints the right people to the right position for the benefit of the organisation, the former plays political games to stay in power.

The OP is a nonsense…..everyone knows that the position will go to the highest bidder…..

sorry mods, Idon't know where to post this.

 

A question for foreigners who retired and took a refund of the Social Security Fund contributions and continued their Injury and Sickness benefits

 

 

QUESTION:  When you took a refund of your SSF contributions and then advised the Social Security Fund (SSF) that you wished to continue your Injury and Sickness benefits and pay your personal monthly contributions at a Thai bank...

 

Did the SSF ask you to provide proof that you had paid your personal Thai taxes for the last 10 years?

 

If they did ask you to prove as above were you on a long-term visa? Or were you already a Permanent Resident of Thailand? Or did they ask you to prove any other items?

 

Appreciate if you would please share your expriences on this subject. Thanks. 

 

By PM if you prefer.
