PM to head education 'super board'

PRIME MINISTER General Prayut Chan-o-cha announced yesterday that he will head the soon-to-established "super board" for education.

“And I will try to yield results as soon as I can,” he said in his weekly “Returning Happiness to People” TV programme Friday night.

Despite the huge budget set aside for the education sector, relevant authorities say it still needs major changes.

“I want to be able to give clear orders, as the existing units within the Education Ministry and the NRC [National Reform Council] have not been able to yield very concrete results due to limitations and regulations,” Prayut said.

He said he has already spoken to the education minister to ensure this will not interfere with his work.
