PM promotes skill enhancement courses for low-income earners

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha called on low-income earners to participate in occupational workshops to land them necessary skills and job opportunities.

The premier was briefed on an enhancement program by the Ministry of Education, which allows teachers to join the courses which promote the constant development of the teachers and reduces the costs.

He commented that the project reflects national education reforms which the government is pushing forward, but such reforms would require changes in the entire system and some time to proceed on.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Labor promoted measures for low-income earners registered under the state welfare campaign, who can choose to enrol in 58 skills development courses at Job Box.

He said the project is a part of the labor reformation which allows the low-income earners to show their capabilities and use their skills to earn more incomes. He also expressed his concerns over the safety at workplaces, and stressed the necessity for certifications and identification of workers who have completed the courses in order to ensure their capabilities.

The premier viewed an exhibition on the Tham Luang cave rescue mission arranged by the Ministry of Culture which will open to the general public during 22 August - 9 September 2018 at Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok, telling the remarkable story of the rescue mission to freed 13 lives trapped inside Tham Luang cave

He said a movie regarding this incident should be made by Thai producers with knowledge learned from the mission to be told in the film.

PM Prayut concerned about rampant football betting during World Cup 2018

The Prime Minister has expressed concerns about rampant football betting among Thais since the start of World Cup 2018. Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said today that he wants Thai football fans to watch and enjoy football matches for entertainment, without letting it affect their health or efficiency at work or in the classroom.

More Bueng Kan farmers producing durian

Rubber farmers in Beung Khong Long district, Beung Kan province, have been able to supplement their incomes by growing durians. The rubber farmers have now begun picking durians from the trees as they begin to ripen. One durian plantation owner, Chaiyo Sisaeng, said his durian trees produced more durians this year. They will be harvested and ready for sale in the middle of this month. Chaiyo said the reason he started producing durian was because the weather in Bueng Kan was similar to the weather in the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat where he had previously rented a plot of land to grow durian trees. After returning to his hometown in Bueng Kan, he decided to grow some on his land where there are now 125 durian trees. Forty of them have produced durians this year. Chaiyo is expecting to make 20,000 baht in profit from selling the sought-after fruit. Around 100 farmers in Beung Khong Long district alone, now grow durian trees. It is expected that Beung Kan will be abl...
