With the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community less than three
years away, Banglamung School organized a workshop for its students
to understand the meaning of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations and to encourage students to participate in activities that
build unity amongst children.
Hosted by Principal Nopadol Laung-onn and four vice principals, the
Aug. 22 event featured competitions on academics, Thai mannerisms,
Dharma storytelling, morals singing, ASEAN country dress, ASEAN flag
naming and ASEAN country singing. It was patterned on the National
Education Act pushing students to be the center of education, to be
involved in activities for students to have skills, knowledge in
building one’s potential.
The event’s purpose was for children to develop themselves, have the
knowledge, skills, morals and intellect, for children to have higher
education, learn to enter society and to select students with skills
to compete in academic competitions. All in all for students to
learn of the ASEAN Community that Thailand is joining in 2015.
