Business Development Dept. confirms iTV still “operational”
13 Sept 13:19Key points summarised by AI
The Business Development Department (BDD) clarified that iTV Public Company is "currently operational," a legal registration status confirming it as a corporate entity and not bankrupt or delisted.
This operational status does not indicate active business engagement; rather, it signifies the company's continued existence according to its registered objectives, with any actual business activities reflected in its financial statements.
Thailand's Education Ministry is implementing a four-pronged strategy to address its students' below-average performance in PISA 2025 and tackle significant educational inequality.
The plan prioritizes closing performance gaps by increasing funding for small and low-income schools, overhauling the curriculum to foster critical thinking, and adopting a data-driven management system to reduce teacher workload.
Key initiatives include enhancing school safety, combating cyberbullying, and expanding mental health support through peer-to-peer networks, recognizing the severe impact of distress on academic performance.
An education expert advises verifying if PISA improvements stem from structural changes, advocating for a revived STEM curriculum with practical 'learn by doing' methods, and urging bureaucratic reform to link teacher evaluations to student development.
