PM wants ethics test for students
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed the Education Ministry to add a moral and ethical sense test at all education levels and require students to write one page of Thai history. These steps would ensure they are aware of their social duties and responsibilities, and respect the nation, religion and the monarchy, he said. He was speaking on January 11 at an award ceremony for 781 students nationwide invited to Government House for their outstanding academic achievements. Gen Prayut said he wanted to see a new generation of Thais grow up with a clear concept of moral and ethical responsibility, so they can build a stronger nation. “By this year, the Education Ministry should add a moral and ethical sense test. “For example, we might ask students what they should do if they see a person drop a wallet or jaywalk in front of them,” Gen Prayut said. “They need to be aware of their rights, duties, responsibilities and the importance of volunteering,” he said.
