The Minister of Education asks the directors of educational institutions to cancel teachers’ shifts in accordance with the Cabinet resolution.

“Permpoon” asks the director of the educational institution to cancel the teacher’s shift in accordance with the Cabinet resolution and offers employment. Security guards will be taking over teachers’ duties next week.

Pol. Gen. Phoempoon Chidchob, Minister of Education (Minister of Education), said that it has been more than two weeks since the Cabinet resolution to cancel the duty of teachers in schools and educational institutions across the country. Effective immediately With concern for the welfare and reducing the burden on teachers in a concrete way. Which has received very good feedback from teachers all over the country. Including school directors who understand the intent of canceling teacher shifts. Many places have used technology to help instead of having teachers watch over them, such as remote-controlled CCTV systems. An application that monitors and coordinates security agencies at all times. Including cooperation from the private sector in the area to support the red cabinets, etc., shows c
oncern. Strong understanding of the safety of teachers’ lives and government property from all sectors.

However, in complying with the Cabinet resolution, it was found that some educational institutions still have teachers on duty as usual. By changing the issuance of orders from the word “on duty” It is the word for teachers to take care of the school instead. As a result, teachers will not be released from duty as per the Cabinet resolution that will be effective immediately. This method risks issuing orders that are contrary to Cabinet resolutions. Therefore, we would like to ask administrators of educational institutions that operate in this manner. Change the methods of maintaining safety to be correct and appropriate without requiring teachers to guard the school.

Mr. Surasak Pancharoenworakul Minister and Deputy Minister Accelerate the push for canceling teachers’ duty leave. Because we are primarily concerned about the safety of teachers. Many times teachers are attacked while on duty and have no wa
y to fight. This is both physical and mental injury for all teachers. It is not worth the trade-off to protect assets. Today’s world has many technologies that can be used to replace it. including security companies In addition, the Ministry of Education has a policy to change organizations to use more technology. Therefore, I would like to appeal to the administrators of the educational institutions that still allow teachers to be on duty. The practice guidelines have been changed to comply with the Cabinet resolution, which intends to cancel allowing teachers to go on duty. To truly take care of teachers and make them happy.’

In this regard, the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) has been assigned to expedite the collection of employment demand data. Security guards come to ensure complete safety of the educational institution. To present it to the Cabinet meeting in time next week. It is hoped that the Cabinet meeting will come to a resolution approving this matter. Because it is an urgent ma
tter that directly affects the welfare and safety of teachers throughout the country.

‘I would like to ask school administrators to use the concept based on the principle that The welfare and safety of teachers is more important than all assets. Especially on the issue of having teachers go on guard duty at this time. Please think of all teachers as colleagues rather than subordinates. Today we have unlocked the issue of teachers being on duty. The next thing to do is take care of each other. Return the teacher to the classroom Develop a security system appropriate to the area. modern Collaborate with various networks in the area according to the concept of working hand in hand and going together’.
