Thai Students Demand Action

Valentina Quality Education

Thailand's 'Bad Students' demand minister's resignation and reforms in the education sector. “Get out, get out, get out!” they chanted from the open-top truck after it parked in front of the steps of the Education Ministry.The group, part of a broader protest movement that has gained momentum in Thailand since July and is calling for greater democracy, also threw thousands of copies of a mock resignation letter from the minister into the air.Student campaigners complain that Thailand’s school system is geared more towards instilling obedience than education.Concerns over the harsh treatment of pupils have risen this week after the emergence of closed-circuit camera footage of teachers hitting young children. The clips prompted outrage and calls for measures to be taken against the schools.As protests gather pace, some campaigners are also seeking reforms to the powerful monarchy. They plan a major demonstration on Oct. 14.
