Free Education For Special-needs Students - Thailand - education


All students with special needs would be helped from May onwards with free education to bachelor degree level at state and private universities, Education Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said Thursday.



Jurin has assigned educational institutes to complete within 120 days a plan to recruit the special-needs students, after which the ministry would evaluate if the institute was ready for the task. For children in the troubled southern provinces, he said a committee of local educational administrators was overseeing the area's education to boost students' academic performance.

His comment was made at a meeting Thursday of the Thai Student Council, which had raised concerns over the special-needs students' lack of educational materials - and also the need for specially trained teachers on the southern border where students' safety was a problem.
