CDC proposes independent panel to transform education

THE CONSTITUTION Drafting Committee (CDC) is trying to ensure the country realises educational reform from a fresh perspective by recommending the establishment of an independent panel, CDC Meechai Ruchuphan chairman said Monday.
Meechai added that the panel should include outsiders with a deep understanding of educational affairs who enjoy widespread recognition and are open-minded.
“Members of the country’s educational sector have failed to step out of the old box. Without a fresh perspective, the sector will just be trapped with the same old problems,” he said during a meeting held by the Office of the Education Council.
The charter draft prepared by the CDC would require the Cabinet to set up an independent panel to give recommendations and prepare laws to reform the country’s educational sector, Meechai said.
