National Public Hearing on Basic Educational Reform scheduled for late Jan

BANGKOK, 11 January 2015 (NNT) - The Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) has scheduled a national public hearing on basic educational reform for either late January or early February 2015.

People across Thailand can propose their opinions by post or by making a direct call to the educational reform committee while the public hearing is being broadcast on television. Alternatively, they can submit their suggestion through OBEC’s website.

However, the OBEC Secretary General Kamol Rodkhlai emphasized that the issue of educational reform has been continuously discussed in Thailand. Therefore, the public should give their suggestions only on the topics which have been briefly finalized by the committee in order to avoid unrelated issues.

Details of the public hearings were revealed while he presided over a seminar on the formulation of a Basic Educational Reform Framework for 2015-2021 held on Sunday at the Prince Palace Hotel in Bangkok, with the participation of directors of various related units and educational specialists.

He said in the seminar that OBEC's reform framework is being formulated in keeping with an outline by the educational minister. According to the minister’s plan, reform is likely to bring success in the next two to three years.

His plan mainly focuses on the development of learning processes, curriculum, teachers and managing strategy for local education, including the setting up of an authority similar to the Provincial Educational Council to design a specific educational strategy for each area.

A public hearing will be held after the educational reform committee proposes its framework to the minister for his consideration. Then four sub-committees will oversee the reform in parallel with the other main divisions in the educational ministry.

Capable people? These people are the same folks who are trying to restrict free thought, stop open and frank discussion, have censored the history books and forbidden anyone to even think about certain topics. Daily someone says something so absurd that the whole country - Thai and non-Thai (aside from a hardcore like yourself) - guffaws or simply shakes their head. They have posted a list of twelve inane thought targets that would do both Stalin and Orwell proud - and you call them capable?

I understand English is a second language but do you understand the word? You do, after all, come from the land that gave us Plato and Aristotle.
