KKC issued a clarion call last Thursday asking students across the country to not be afraid of questioning the need to wear school uniforms and dress casually on Tuesday to show their stance.
According to the pro-democracy group “Bad Student”, Triam Udom Suksa was among 23 schools nationwide where students would act in line with the KKC campaigns, as well as other outstanding schools in Bangkok, such as Horwang, Srinakharinwirot University: Demonstration School, Satriwithaya, Satriwithaya 2, or Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni).
The Bad Student group has set up an online website for reporting the response of schools nationwide towards students in informal outfits.
Minister of Education Nataphol Teepsuwan told the press at Government House that to wear casual clothes to school is a violation of his ministry’s rule. However, a punishment in this case will not result in expulsion, he added.
The minister mentioned that his organisation was considering allowing students to wear informal outfits once a month.
