A commission may be established by the Ministry of Education to direct efforts to reduce high school dropout rates.

The government was spurred into motion by a new study, which found that 394, 039 kids aged six to 18 are missing from the country’s required education program.

Education Minister Permpoon Chidchob announced on Wednesday that the Office of the Education Council ( OEC ) has been given the task of creating a strategic plan to address the issue of school dropouts.

The Office of the Basic Education Commission ( Obec), according to Pol Gen Permpoon, is in charge of carrying out a related project that will return students from Prathom 1 ( grade 1 ) to Mathayom 3 ( grade 7 ) in order to reinstate them in the mandatory educational system.

He added that the OEC should also make compulsory schooling available for children in juvenile detention facilities, such as those who are not able to attend school.

He suggested that the OEC might create a long-distance training program exclusively for Thai youngsters who currently reside abroad.

The Thailand Zero Dropout strategy has four fundamental steps that must be taken in order to eradicate college students.

Chalermpong Saengdee, the party’s MP for Phuket, announced on Wednesday that a meeting was held to simplify regulations and establish attempt at scooter taxi stands in Patong’s tourist district.

A regulatory committee will be established to solve issues, including designing passenger pickup points, as discussed by a consultant from the Phuket Provincial Transport Office.

The company mandates that all motorcycle taxi drivers have a license to operate public transportation and have completed a training program. This aims to stop scuffles and stop travellers from being abused.

A marine biologist has warned that due to the diminishing source of grass, which is their main source of food, habitat groups in the Andaman Sea are expected to decline by 70 % over the next four years.

More action should be taken to protect and preserve the extremely rare species, according to Thon Thamrongnawasawat, who told the Bangkok Post on Wednesday. A crisis of diminishing grass resources is contributing to the drop of this aquatic animal.

Diverse organizations have been collaborating to enhance the grass resources that have been impacted by climate change.

Mr Thon, who is also the lieutenant dean of the Faculty of Fish at Kasetsart University, said 72 alligators died in 2023-2024 from a full community of 250 recorded in 2022 in the Andaman Sea.

Now, there are around 120 but that amount could rise to 70 in four decades, he said.

If we do n’t take more aggressive action to protect their food source, he said,” We will have less and less dugong populations.”

The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources ( DMCR ) has developed an urgent plan to address the crisis by providing Chinese cabbage to dugongs at a pilot site in Phuket’s Rawai beach.

The beach’s player page, which dugongs frequently visit to eat the seagrass there, was just launched by the DMCR.

The DMCR today offers four one-square-metre websites with four types of vegetables: day glory, bok choy, spinach and broccoli.

Unmanned aerial vehicles are also being used to gather information. So far only one dugong has approached one of the sites, but never eaten everything.

The DMCR is even researching other dugong products.

Despite reports of dugong observations in Penang, Mr. Thon stated that his team is collaborating with Malaysian experts.

He claimed that some people may have relocated from the Andaman Sea to a fresh food source in the neighboring nation.

Jatuporn Buruspat, continuous director at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, said their declining statistics are disturbing. He claimed that he has instructed his staff to take more serious measures to improve the region’s grass ovulation.

The DMCR and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives are collaborating to acquire their seeds for future plantations.

A plan to travel the alligators in the Andaman to the Gulf of Thailand, where grass is more abundant, was rejected by Mr. Jatuporn. He claimed that since the varieties is known to be extremely vulnerable to new environments, more research is needed before making such judgments.

Thailand, Cambodia may agree on term

Concerns about upcoming discussions with Cambodia regarding the Overlapping Claims Area ( OCA ) in the Gulf of Thailand must be addressed by foreign affairs minister Maris Sangiampongsa, who emphasized that both countries must accept them in order for the negotiations to succeed.

According to the law, he said on Wednesday, any ensuing agreement would need the approval of each nation’s cabinet and political support.

He also refuted claims made by some as impossible that one side would win the negotiations, which would be based on the contentious Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU) from 2001.

He claimed negotiations must be concluded before natural resources in the Gulf of Thailand can be exploited. Additionally, the MoU directly mandates that discussions on maritime boundaries and combined development take place at the same time.

Mr Maris said Thailand’s interests may be prioritised, with perks expected for Thai people, including clearly defined sea edges and more cheap energy assets.

According to the secretary, Cambodia’s territory is not affected by the 2001 MoU.

The image included in the MoU only depicts each nation’s claimed continental shelves area and does not imply a maritime boundary line. He added that the MoU encourages parallel discussions on sea borders and joint development, which is useful for Thailand.

PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who left on Wednesday for two regional sessions in Kunming, China, declined to comment on the discussions.

However, she mentioned on Tuesday that the government is preparing to form a Joint Technical Committee (JTC ) in the upcoming two weeks to discuss issues relating to the OCA, with the proposal set to be presented to the cabinet soon.

However, advocate Thaikorn Polsuwan wrote on Twitter that, following the 2019 votes, the Palang Pracharath Party-led state and Cambodia agreed to continue discussions under the 2001 MoU, although just one meeting was held.

Citing sources close to the issue, he said that during the meeting, Cambodia presented two proposals: for Thailand to recognise its 1972 territorial claim over half ofKoh Kutin Trat province, and designateKoh Kutas a joint economic development area.

The Thai committee requested an injunction upon learning of Cambodia’s ideas, and no further discussions have been held since.

Key members of the PPRP’s organization urge the Pheu Thai-led authorities to rescind the 2001 MoU, arguing that it puts Thailand at a risk and risks regional loss.

However, Wichit Sukasuyanon, chairman of the Trat Tourism Association, expressed issue that concerns related to the 2001 MoU are affecting hospitality.

He claimed that some of the videos that are available on social media about the Gulf of Thailand’s maritime boundary are false and may have damaged viewers ‘ trust.
