Tales and fables to be digitalized to enhance the mental development of Thai youth

BANGKOK, 24 July 2016 (NNT) – Researchers has been preparing to develop a digital database of stories and fables in the hopes of propelling the mental development of Thai children to adopt good values.

Dr. Duangduan Bhanthumnavin, the Director of the National Biological Control Research Center under the National Research Council of Thailand, has disclosed that the National Committee for Research and Development of Thai Behavioral System has approved the digitization of 10 tales to be compiled into CDs so that the content will aid child mental development in both moral reasoning and motivation.

Storing the fables and tales into a digital platform will greatly benefit the government policies, especially in instilling the twelve national core values into the general public.

That "Director of the National Biological Control Research Center" found out that giving Thai kids CDs "will aid child mental development in both moral reasoning and motivation.".

Not sure if my opinion here will be deleted, but I'll give it a try: The guy is a RETARD!

Wow! digital eh? That is sure some giant leap for mankind.

Of course they will have trouble getting the CD's work on the kid's smart phones.

"...10 tales to be compiled into CD..."

Probable miss out on the last two of the 12 core values (http://www.thaigov.go.th/index.php/en/pressbriefing/item/84749-id84749.html)!

Is this not old news? I am sure I have read this elsewhere, yes, got it, it was developed by the CDC months ago.

In fact I think Thais are going to get a chance to say how much they love these "stories and fables" on August 7th.

Wouldn't it be easier to issue in KO MIC form ?

Whenever I read "12 national core values" , I want to throw up!

Play these National Core Value CD's loudly over the PA system in the prisons 24/7. Many of the residents of these institutions have the maturity of a child.

He said stories and fables not the 12 fantasy values, kids should not be exposed to those. Some of the stories are actually good and moral ones, worth a try I say. An 8 year old was showing me some yesterday, one was about a snake shrine on Rama 2 and how it was connected to the building of the road, about caring for animals, quite interesting

CD?

Put it on the Cloud.

Accessable by any internet platform.

CD?

Put it on the Cloud.

But then it would only be available during the rainy season, and even then the cloud may have to be seeded.
