Schools waive scout uniform requirement to save costs

The Ministry of Education announced this month that a new school word that may begin in the middle of May will be replaced by hunter uniforms.

Surasak Phancharoenworakul, the deputy minister of education, reported on Wednesday that the Thai National Scout Organization was in the process of removing the requirement for individuals to wear hunter uniforms in state-run schools.

This month will be the announcement and impact of the cancellation, which is intended to save parents money on scout uniform costs. The uniform types are divided into three categories: official, training, and everyday.

After the legislation becomes effective, schools will develop the hunter education on an individual basis, and they will decide how learners should dress for scouting classes. Most schools will begin using the new expression on May 15.

In the event that it becomes clear that the previous rule has been actually waived, the deputy minister advised parents to keep off purchasing hunter uniforms for the new phrase.

Education Minister Pol Gen Permpoon Chidchob has recently stated that students and teachers may wear student clothes for scouting events. Additionally, he noted that ethnic minority students may use their traditional attire at a university.

To reduce costs, schools in rural areas may permit students to wear a hunter hat and scarf with their standard pupil uniform. The chancellor noted that Scout Day and other formal occasions are best attended by students in conventional uniforms.
