BANGKOK, 14 Nov 2014 – The Education Ministry has come up with an idea of getting the 12 national core values adopted more seriously by putting them in school textbooks.

The Education Ministry will launch a series of campaigns to enhance public awareness of the 12 national core values. The campaigns will comprise TV advertisement spots, composition of new soul-stirring songs, short films, and adjustment of teacher development courses.

The 12 values will later be integrated into students’ curricula, which will be adjusted so as to enhance a sense of national identity and patriotic feeling among the youth.

A special committee chaired by the Education Ministry will be set up to map out the operation strategies and oversee the campaign implementation.

The 12 national core values include upholding the nation, religion and monarchy, respect for parents, guardians and teachers, preservation of Thai traditions and culture.
