Education Minister Chinnaworn Boonyakiat is considering introducing field trips to Corrections Department facilities for students of Rajamangala University of Technology's Uthen Thawai campus and Pathumwan Institute of Technology, in order to deter them from using further violence against each other.
He said he had assigned Deputy Education Minister Chaiwuti Bannawat to seriously tackle the issue of students brawling at the two institutions and to get all involved parties responsible for solving the problem.
If that approach fails, the ministry will consider sending at-risk students to study in provincial campuses, or moving the two schools to new locations - as well as having the students visit prison facilities.
Prison field trips should persuade them to stop their assaults on rival students by getting them to understand that strict punishment is |the consequence of using violence in society, said Chinnaworn.
