From this year's second semester onwards, students at all levels will be required to recite the "12 core values of the Thai people", either as part of their daily flag-raising ceremony or in class, Kamol Rodklai, chief of the Office of the Basic Education Commission (Obec) said yesterday.
He added that his office would forward the verse to all educational-service area offices to ensure students from Prathom 1 to Mathayom 6 recite it every day. The "12 core values" will also be turned into a song so it's easier to remember, and Obec will also ask academics to seek more effective ways to imbibe these values in young ones.
