“The Education Ministry assigned school directors to gather opinions through their school committees and students’ councils. Opinions of majority students will be prioritized. Practical opinions will be chosen. Impractical ones will be raised for discussions with students. It is two-way communications. We listen and then explain to students,” Mr Nataphol said.
