The government's One Tablet PC per Child policy will be fully implemented by May, Education Minister Woravat Auapinyakul pledged Wednesday.
“We will try to give tablet PCs to all students in primary and secondary school,” he said, adding that vocational students would also get the tablets.
He was speaking in response to reports that due to a limited budget, the tablets would first be handed out to Prathom 1 students only. “I am looking for additional funds,” he said.
In response to comments that the tablets might not be useful for some vocational subjects, Woravat said the devices would serve as a learning tool, giving students access to other materials.
