BANGKOK, 19 October 2014 Dr. Chaiyapruek Serirak, Secretary-General of the Office of the Vocational Education Commission, revealed the Minister of Education has given an idea to hold a month –long training camp for vocational students in a bid to end their enmity towards students from other colleges that often ends up in violent brawls on streets.
The Office of the Vocational Education Commission will coordinate with the Royal Thai Navy in launching the camps which will be piloted in Samut Prakan province. A total of 100 students will be chosen from various vocational colleges to participate in the camp project, at the Navy’s Chumphon Thahan Rua School in Sattahip District, Chonburi. The training will last one month from 12 November – 12 December 2014.
He said the training is hoped to readjust the students’ attitude towards their careers and colleagues and instill the right values of co-existence in the society including the spirit to help other people – the qualifications useful to their life when returning to respective schools.
When the camp ends, a team is to be set up to assess the success of the project and will serve as mentors to assist the students in their study.
