Classroom time to be reduced in ‘education upgrade’
The Education Ministry said on Monday it will upgrade the education system next year by reducing the time students spend in classroom in order to boost personal learning time.
Education Minister Natthapol Teepsuwan said the move was part of an ongoing push to improve Thai education in 2021.
He added that the new budget for school lunches will soon be proposed to the Cabinet as a “gift to students”.
Natthapol also said more foreign teachers would be back in the classroom soon, after many were barred from returning to Thailand due to the Covid-19 travel ban.
