Immigration police revoke visa of Spanish suspect in murder probe
26 Sept 08:50Key points summarised by AI
Immigration police revoked the visa of Daniel, a Spanish suspect, who is currently held in connection with the murder and decapitation of a foreigner, Edwin.
Daniel acted suspiciously by purchasing a knife and plastic bags before reporting Edwin missing, and dismembered human remains, believed to be Edwin's, were subsequently found at a garbage separation site.
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.
