CHACHOENGSAO: Due to the understaffing at Ban Nong Heang School in the Phanom Sarakham area, Krit Chomphra, 34, must juggle to make sure that day-to-day operations go smoothly and that students receive a quality education.
Mr. Krit must juggle several responsibilities as a receptionist, clean, cook, and administrator at the micro-school of 20 students because he is the only teacher and staff member.
A local representative from the tambon Khao Hin Son management organization posted a video time about the class on social media last month, calling for authorities to assist the overworked school. This is how the story of the hapless teacher came to light.
Some people questioned why the teacher must fight on his own, without help from the government or regional government, for the benefit of his students.
It was a very much time. Mr. Krit remembers the first day he started working on the many things at the university and says,” I was very tired.
working single
Mr. Krit, a computer science graduate of Chachoengsao’s Rajabhat Rajanagarindra University, began working there in 2019. A college chairman and two teachers were employed by him at the moment.
The director left his position last season, and no one has been named to take his place.
A manager can only be appointed by a school that enrolls at least 60 students, according to latest regulations. However, this institution just has 20 individuals, he claimed.
However, Mr. Krit claimed that the only educator working on the property was the one who requested to be transferred to his home county of Buri Ram last season.
He claimed that after learning of the team shortage, the province’s Educational Service Area Office will partially employ a training assistant to assist him.
Before the school you hire another teacher, a teacher recruitment exam will also be required, according to him.
I have to serve in both the roles of manager and teacher. There is no money to hire a baker, so I have to make breakfast myself. Mr. Krit added,” I also handle management work, deal with purchasing, and enter data into a computer system.
He instructs 20 Prathom 1 – 6 students each day who attend class at the same time.
The course is a little disorganized. However, I may keep them in check. I have to raise my voice when they are loud in order to be heard, Mr. Krit said.
He said that because the class is made up of students from various grades, he will tell one team of the same grade while the others complete textbook exercises while they wait for him to tell them as well.
According to him, the students also take part in lessons from a distance learning television program that broadcasts live training sessions over dish from Wang Klai Kang Won School in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Hua Hin area.
As a result, students in rural schools across the country have access to the same educational materials offered by Wang Klai Kang Won School.
At Ban Nong Heang School, according to Mr. Krit, there is only one system, and students must take turns using it.
He added that many college supplies, including pen and pencil sharpeners, are donated by members of the local community.” We need another computer, even a second-hand one, for individuals to Google or watch Youtube of, without having to wait too long for their turn ,” he said.
He said that he needs to assign assignments to students just before lunch in order to get to the home and make them meal.
glad of one’s work
It is taxing to teach all the individuals in the same category, but it gives me the opportunity to get to know them better and learn more about their interests and issues.
Instead of allowing them to become tired and abandon their education, I must find ways to maintain their focus and attention on their coursework.
I also know their kids, so if there are any issues, we will find a solution. I did notify students’ parents whenever they don’t do their research or act inappropriately. We assist one another in taking care of the kids, Mr. Krit said.
Despite these obstacles, Mr. Krit claimed that he still takes great pride in his profession and that, despite having found himself teaching at this lesser-known institution, the teacher does everything within his power to guarantee that the students receive the best education possible.
He claimed that one of his students lately passed an entrance examination and was accepted into a prestigious Ayutthaya class. Among the 200 students who passed the exam, his pupil placed 22nd, he claimed.
According to Mr. Krit, many students come from low-income people and are in need of simple school supplies like outfits, shoes, erasers, and pencils.
However, rather than the current 20 students, the breakfast budget is based on feeding 15.
The issue was brought on by inadequate documents. He stated that a request for additional financing will need to be made to the Khao Hin tambon management organization.
a sense of group
Mr. Krit added that he had spoken with parents and community members to find ways to improve the situation at the university.
They both agreed that funds needed to support the university’s activities in order to provide students with a high-quality education and more food, Mr. Krit said, adding that some families are willing to pitch in to assist with schoolwork.
Some may not have the means to do so, but they assist in other way, like mowing the lawn and cleaning the property, Mr. Krit said.
One 32-year-old family, Tarn, has promised to make the students’ breakfast herself and save Mr. Krit the time he would spend shopping and cooking.
Mr. Krit needs to take a break because he is already exhausted from teaching the individuals.
We, the kids, are willing to assist if needed. We are grateful for all the love and commitment he shows to his pupils, Ms. Tarn said.
The head of the town at Ban Moo 3 in tambon Lad Krathing in the Sanam Chai Khet neighborhood of Chachoengsao, Prapa Niamsuay, expressed her admiration for Mr. Krit’s ability to manage the school by himself.
” We brought donated things like sports equipment, school supplies, food products, and having water and gave them to the university as a sign of social support ,” Ms. Prapa said.
Mr. Krit responded by expressing his gratitude for the assistance he has received in light of his daily struggles.
I will complete my work as a tutor to the best of my ability to assist the students in realizing their potential and ensuring that they will grow up to be responsible adults. I won’t leave them behind. ”
