Education Minister Treenuch Thienthong says her staff have prepared a host of activities for students ahead of the first semester of this academic year on June 1.
Ms Treenuch said the ministry had already devised various plans for May 17-31 so students can use the time wisely ahead of the new term, which was postponed to prevent the spread of the pandemic in schools.
She said the country was now in the grip of a third wave of Covid-19 and it was widely feared the situation would get worse. Her ministry didn't want children to lose any opportunities to further their studies and it was important their parents felt reassured about their well-being.
