23 Sept 04:46 Key points summarised by AI

The lawyer for iCon Group CEO Waratphol Waratvorakul will request the DSI reclassify five alleged victims as 'upline executives' (suspects).
These five individuals are accused of actively persuading others to invest and purchase products, operating with over a hundred 'downlines' each, allegedly without the company's knowledge.
The reclassification aims to ensure these individuals prove their innocence through legal processes, similar to the 18 executives already charged.
The legal team is also preparing documents to enable 2,000 other victims to take legal action against those claiming victim status but who were allegedly upline executives.

Examining Thailand’s four-part education revolution

Today 14:22 Key points summarised by AI

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.
