Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 8 October 2010 :-
US retirees, graduates lured to teach English
===========================
The Education Ministry is pushing ahead with its proposal to make English Thailand's second official language.
The plan calls for English classes in about a third of 3,000 public and private schools nationwide to be taught by native speakers or local teachers who have graduated with a major in English.
Education Minister Chinnaworn Boonyakiat announced details of the plan at a meeting with directors of education service area offices from 225 zones nationwide in Bangkok yesterday.
Pupils in public and private junior secondary schools which are regarded as meeting "international standards" will learn English with local teachers who graduated in English.
Maths and science classes will also be taught in English.
The ministry also plans to hire retired English instructors from the US to teach pupils in senior secondary schools. US authorities have agreed to invite retired teachers to work in Thailand, he said.
Mr Chinnaworn met the directors to launch a new education policy for the 2011 fiscal year. The minister said pushing English as the country's second official language was high on the agenda.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 11 October 2010 :-
Country not ready for English language instruction
===============================
It's too soon to declare English the second language for teaching in schools, Office of the Education Council (OEC) secretary-general Tongthong Chandransu said recently.
News reports late last week said the Education Ministry planned to declare English the second language in schools on October 22.
But Tongthong denied there would be declarations related to the issue on October 22, as reported by the media.
"The education reform policy committee, chaired by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has discussed improving or upgrading English language teaching in educational institutions. But the committee has not yet reached a conclusion of how to develop the teaching," Tongthong said.
He was not sure if there was confusion caused by initial news reports on the issue.
He said the issue to be announced on the 22nd would be about developing students' quality by providing 30 per cent of their study time to activities outside classrooms.
"To initiate a nationwide English language teaching improvement scheme is a big issue. We need to prepare enough basic structure, like instructional tools, technology and qualified teachers as well as arrange funds, which will take a long time."
He said the PM and Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij agreed in principle to upgrade teaching English and would support the scheme.
"We need to clarify clearly the term to be used to call the language teaching improvement scheme to prevent confusion. I'm not sure if the committee will state that English will be taught as the second language for teaching in schools or not, but I can now tell that it is considering the language teaching improvement scheme. And, it will be able to give an answer on how it will move this project forward within the next one or two months," he said.
Meanwhile, former Deputy Education Minister Varakorn Samkoses said he agreed with the idea of declaring English the second language in schools, as Thailand will be part of the Asean community in 2015.
However, he said, most Thai people were not ready for communication in English despite the coming Asean community. So, other sectors of society should prepare for the change, as well by seek strategies to help improve their personnel, especially the government and private sector.
"To move the education sector, we should start with training our Thai teachers along with importing foreign teachers," Varakorn said.
"The Basic Education Commission's English Resource and Instruction Centre should be the main agency responsible for the scheme. It should collaborate with universities to share their knowledge and train and certify teachers in each region.
"Schools should create an English learning atmosphere by placing boards in English with language vocabularies around the schools, having students perform English language stage dramas, teaching maths and science in English and having foreigners meet and talk to students," Varakorn said.
English is used as an official language in the Philippines and Singapore, but used and spoken in Malaysia as a second language, according to Wikipedia.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Wednesday 20 October 2010 :-
Plan to make English 2nd language vetoed
==========================
The Education Ministry has scrapped a plan to make English the country's second language, saying it could lead to misunderstandings that Thailand had been colonised in the past.
The ministry will make English the main foreign language instead of the second official language, Education Minister Chinnaworn Boonyakiat said yesterday.
A subcommittee on education standards development under the committee on education reform proposed in July that English be made the country's second official language. The panel hoped this would spur students to achieve proficiency in English and help place the nation on the road map to the Asean Community in 2015.
Mr Chinnaworn said the ministry had carefully considered the proposal and found it might lead to misunderstandings among people and agencies responsible for implementing the policy. Other countries that have declared English a second official language were normally viewed as former colonies, he said. Thai is the only official language of Thailand.
The minister maintained that the ministry would make a serious effort to improve English teaching and learning in schools even though the second language proposal had been scrapped.
The ministry would outline its key policies for education improvement on Friday, with the attempt to make English the main foreign language on the agenda.
The plan calls for the development of English teaching and learning at popular public and private schools to be on a par with international standards. After completing their education at those schools, students would be able to communicate fluently in English, he said.
Native speakers would be recruited to teach English to senior secondary school students, and the ministry would seek the cooperation of the Foreign Affairs Ministry to contact foreign teachers to teach the students.
The ministry would also announce its policy on revamping the school curriculum on Friday.

Report from The Nation dated Tuesday 29 March 2011 :-
Plan to hire native English-speaking teachers
===========================
The Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) will seek a Bt350million budget to hire 300 native English-speaking teachers for its primary and secondary schools to tackle the shortage of English teachers, a senior official said yesterday.
According to the proposal, the native speakers would each get about Bt1 million per year - a salary of Bt83,000 per month - compared to the Bt9,000 per month drawn by Thais teaching English.
Obec chief Chinaphat Phumirat said the foreign teachers would be from the United States, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, India and the Philippines.

Alot of westerners are working for less than that as Teachers-
Maybe 25% without real degrees (see kosan road fakes)
Providing the skills are there and effort and presentation remoter areas tolerate the fakes-
But 83,000 baht sees a shift towards making it appealing to university educated teachers to put in an application-
I am a boat driver and have no desire or qualifications in that area-
However its good to see some improvements-
Blonk indians and asians are not exactly the farangs thais percieve
I think they mean european or white skins-
I am suprised they employ indians as thais hate them-
maybe south is less racial as Muslims figure in those parts?

If they employ Indians as English language teachers, all the students will end up with the typical Indian accent, which I can recognise miles away
