Speaking in a meeting of the strategic administration committee chaired by PM Prayut on Monday, the premier asked the Education Ministry to review the country's curriculum to ensure that it can increase students’ knowledge, improve society and enhance the country’s potential, said Chaiyapruek.
In the meeting, the Education Ministry presented its plans for national strategic education management, constitutional education management and support for private schools.
