China News Service Bangkok, January 10 (Xinhua) -- According to Thailand's "Thaiger" 10, on the eve of Thailand's Children's Day on January 13, Thai Prime Minister Saitha delivered a speech announcing Thailand's firm commitment to policies aimed at solving educational inequality in Thailand.
Saita said Thailand** is committed to eradicating the denial of children's right to education.
Saita revealed that one of his first actions after taking office last year was to instruct the main relevant institutions, including the Ministry of Digital Economy and Social Development, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Education Equity Association, to pool their resources to build Thailand's first comprehensive database with dropout rates as an indicator. "This will mark a key step towards Thailand's goal of zero school dropouts. Saita said.
More than 100,000 students have dropped out of school due to poverty, drug abuse and pregnancy, according to a previous report released by the Thai Ministry of Education. In addition, Thailand's Ministry of Education has seen a growing trend among young people who are no longer interested in the traditional education system and are opting instead for learning platforms that they believe will better prepare them for their future needs.
It is reported that Thailand's upcoming education reform plan aims to completely change the education pattern and create a system for Thailand where everyone can enjoy the right to education. The Thai people hope that this education reform will usher in a zero-dropout era in Thailand and reshape the educational future of young people. (ENDS).
