Uniformed men will be assigned to teach in Thai south
2012-12-28
Thai border patrol police and army soldiers will be assigned to teach in state-run schools in Thailand's southernmost provinces, according to the Thai defense minister.

Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat, who stayed overnight in Narathiwat province on Tuesday during his two-day inspection trip to the far South, said instruction by police and military personnel will be a temporary measure due to a shortage of Thai Buddhist teachers.

He said the assignment of teaching jobs to soldiers, rangers and border patrol police was agreed to by the Federation of Teachers in Three Southern Border Provinces.

A series of attacks against Thai Buddhist teachers in the area has devastated the morale of educators, many of whom have sought permission from the Education Ministry to transfer from the region.
