Lack of teaching materials and teachers are main problems : Poll

A Suan Dusit survey has pinpointed major problems in the country's educational system, including inadequate teaching materials, a shortage of teachers, an inefficient curriculum and students' failure to focus on their studies.



The information was gathered from 1,257 respondents, many of them students or teachers.

Suan Dusit Rajabhat University deputy rector Sukhum Chaloeisap plans to present the survey findings to a Senate subcommittee on basic education today. He is an advisor the subcommittee.

"We have conducted the survey to identify which problems should be tackled first," Sukhum said Wednesday.

He disclosed that the subcommittee recently discussed educational problems but could not conclude which ones were most urgent.

The survey thus asked respondents not just about education problems they had witnessed but also about the solutions they wanted to see implemented first.

On the solutions, 26.82 per cent mentioned curriculum improvement while 23.46 per cent recommended a studentcentred approach.

Other respondents called for adequate teaching materials, family efforts to instil a love of reading in children, and inclusion of ethical lessons.

Sukhum said the Senate subcommittee would inform the relevant authorities of the survey findings.

"We will then follow up on how they implement the solutions," he added. "We will also update the public on the progress."
