Army Commander meets with teachers in deep south
Fourth Army Region Commander Lt Gen Udomchai Thammasaroj on Tuesday met with representatives of teachers' organisations in the south at Sirindhorn Army Camp in Pattani's Yarang district in a bid to solve the problems of the deep southern provinces.
The meeting followed a killing of a female school director of a Pattani school last Thursday. The teachers’ associations met after the killings and decided to protest the government’s failure to protect lives of educational personnel by temporarily closing down schools in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
Meanwhile Boonsom Thongsriprai, president of teachers’ federation in the three deep southern provinces said his federation would submit demands, which would include inviting Lt Gen Udomchai and senior security officials to join a meeting of teacher leaders on December 4.
The meeting would discuss and review safety measures for teachers and students to find systematic ways to solve the problems.
