The ministry’s deputy spokesperson Rakana Tantawutho revealed that schools and education institutes under the ministry’s supervision will start the first semester from July 1st to November 13th, and the second one from December 1st to April 10th.
The ministry is preparing an appropriate method for the learning system during the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as adding more skill classes during the school breaks.
The new curriculum will allow students to access education and stay safe at the same time.
It will also reduce assessments and cut unnecessary activities.
In addition, the ministry will conduct a survey of students, parents and teachers, in order to develop the right tools and a suitable schedule.
On May 11th, Thailand recorded six more COVID-19 cases, raising its total infections to 3,015, including 56 deaths./.
