Outdoor Activities


There are many changes in Thai Ministry of Education since the Minister of Education, Jurin Laksanawisit has been in his position. Several policies have already operated at all schools such as “3D Policy: Democracy Decency and Drug Free”.

For a few days, he proposed new idea that the schools must stress more outdoor activities so that the students gain access to various learning resources. I also agree with his perspective. Due to a lot of textbooks in the classroom, our students should be given a good chance towards the experiences of their real lives.

It was fortunate that Ban Lubokayoh School realizes importantly about this issue. In the end of September, We took our 78 students moving around the middle provinces such Bangkok Pathumthani and Chonburi. They were so happy to have an opportunity to study tour in this area. May be this is because some of them are underprivileged students that they have never been anywhere before.

Thus, we are going to continue our best program onwards. Outdoor activities are necessary for the school which is placed in the countryside, especially in the Southernmost Provinces or under the Bureau of Educational Development for Special Administrative Zone in the South.
