In a shocking move from Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob’s toilets- for-all policy, schools will be able to choose whether or not to let students wear uniforms.

All universities can make their own decisions about whether to allow students to attend classes in student clothing or other suitable attire, according to the minister’s text that is marked “very serious” and written May 16.

He stated in the letter sent to all firms under the Ministry of Education that the new policy is intended to assist parents in coping with the rising costs of living and encourage “excellence in training.

The teaching, nevertheless, was issued on the same day that schools started the new scientific time, after most parents had finished their backwards- to- school shopping.

Some people spend a lot of money on uniforms, especially if their kids attend schools where up to five uniforms are required, depending on the day of the year or the action.

Just a few days after the minister mandated that all teachers and students share bathrooms&nbsp, instead of using individual facilities, as has been the custom, the standard freedom plan comes into effect.

The two concepts are piece of Pol Gen Permpoon’s “learning with joy” plan.

On Friday, the letter was posted on the agency’s Twitter page, and there have been some negative comments.

Some commentators claimed that since they already purchased new clothes for their kids, it should have been released before the first universities were open. According to some, it would not alter anything because the minister is just granting schools an opportunity and not issuing a mandated order.
