With many schools being closed for the foreseeable future due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Education Ministry is collaborating with the Distance Learning Foundation under Royal Patronage and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to start providing lessons via 17 free-to-air channels.
Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan said if students are unable to return to school, these channels along with an online one can be turned into a main source of lessons.
The ministry has postponed the first semester of this year from May to July 1 in response to the outbreak.
