Thailand condemns Cambodian leaders' calls for regime change as interference in its internal affairs, violating ASEAN and UN charters.
The Thai Foreign Ministry demands Cambodian leaders immediately cease such remarks to prevent further damage to bilateral relations.
Cambodian leaders, including Hun Sen, have publicly stated their preference for new Thai leadership and their intent to cooperate only with a 'next' Thai government.

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.
