Pattaya unveils “Literacy Guarantee” to reverse falling student test scores

PATTAYA:--Pattaya education officials are promising more teacher training and earlier student testing as the city scrambles to join Thailand’s promised “revolution” in education to reverse sliding standardized test scores.

At a Nov. 27 meeting with teachers and administrators from all 11 public schools, Education Department Director Jintana Maensurin unveiled a new “Literacy Guarantee” program to boost scores in reading and writing.

As part of the campaign, students will now be subjected to preliminary testing three months before Thailand’s Ordinary National Education Test for third and sixth graders. After scores are evaluated, additional teacher training, where needed, will begin in June.
