Thailand’s debt-stricken teachers ‘need financial help’
The Thailand Teacher’s Development Association on 23 November demanded Education Minister Dapong Ratanasuwan provide debt refinancing packages, to prevent teachers from becoming swamped with debts which will eventually affect the students.
The association proposed the ministry combine formal and informal debts of teachers nationwide, and transfer the whole chunk to Krung Thai Bank, before arranging refinancing packages for all debt-stricken teachers, said association president Preecha Muangprom, speaking after meeting Gen Dapong.
