BANGKOK, Jan 16 – Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra today urged teachers to help provide knowledge and simultaneously shield youths at the time when capitalism and materialism from Western countries dominates the mind of young students in Thailand.
He said current rapid changes in society resulted from the new generation which attached more importance to materialism and teachers should teach their pupils not to become the prey of societal dangers which comes along with capitalism.
Mr Sukhumbhand told teachers and administrators of schools under BMA supervision on the occasion of the annual National Teachers’ Day that City Hall would financially support teachers as well as promoting outstanding teachers, aimed at boosting their morale.
More than 3,000 teachers attended the event held at the Thailand-Japan Bangkok Youth Centre in Din Daeng.
Souvenirs, pins and certificates were also presented by Governor Sukhumbhand to this year’s 28 outstanding teachers from city schools. (MCOT online news)
