As for the news presentation saying that the school receives a budget of 30,000 baht/year, we would like to clarify tha

This drama may be a misunderstanding. Regarding the student subsidy budget But he ordered an investigation in the area to determine why there was such a misunderstanding, emphasizing that “OBEC sees the importance of organizing teaching and learning in small schools that are
not merged. According to the policy of the Minister of Education, who has given importance to the provision of basic education at all levels. Therefore, two government employees in teaching positions have been arranged to help with teaching in order to teach children in all grades and one administrative position to help take care of various administrative tasks of the school. As for the budget, it is in accordance with the criteria. Allocated according to the number of students available each year. After this, Nakhon Phanom District 1 will continue to provide information to community leaders in the area in order to know the facts and gain a common understanding.

However, it is acknowledged that there are still more than 10,000 small school groups. The Ministry of Education is trying to help solve the problem, reducing the burden on teachers and adding positions for administrative staff. Hoping that teachers can develop teaching and learning for students as efficiently as possible.-417
