English teaching reform in Thailand
泰国教育专家建议小学一年级不再开设英语课
THE study of English in state schools in Thailand may undergo a change, with an Education Ministry-led group of experts in the country recommending that schools be given the freedom to decide when to begin English-language courses. The report on reforming English teaching in schools will soon be handed to Education Minister Chaturon Chaisaeng. It calls for an end to the present regulation which orders public schools to begin English courses from Grade 1.
