The Thai Foreign Ministry plans to submit evidence to Malaysia to counter Cambodia's one-sided claims, highlighting continued violations by Cambodian forces despite a ceasefire.

Malaysia's PM Anwar, acting on Cambodia's request, invited Thailand for talks, a move Thailand perceives as taking sides, prompting Thailand to present its own account to prevent Kuala Lumpur from appearing biased.

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.
