Buchholz Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I am less enthusiastic about the tablet scheme now that I know they will spend 10% of the national education budget on it. Yes, that was the news today. 6 BILLION BAHT per year. The new Education Minister went on to say that it would come out of the budget that was previously devoted to providing free school uniforms for students as well as free textbooks The clueless guy EM Worawut, who obviously has never come close to caring for school-aged children, said, "This will not affect students and the overall education program because... uniforms do not need to be changed to new ones every year." What a moron. Another gem from the Chief of Educating the Youth of Thailand, "The tablets will not completely replace textbooks. They will act like calculators the help the student to calculate faster." . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abhisit on having to pay 40 Baht herself on school uniforms as the government grant was insufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Education Minister Worawat Ua-apinyakul previously was the genius as Culture Minister, when he came up with idea of producing black magic amulets, including phallus and buffalo-shaped ones, as souvenirs for tourists. Phallus Symbols And Buffaloes To Attrract More Tourists . Edited August 18, 2011 by Buchholz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
