Promotions now linked to experience and consistency of hours of instruction.


BANGKOK: -- THE EDUCATION Ministry has launched a new set of criteria for teachers seeking academic ranks in a bid to bring teachers closer to their students.



Starting from July 5 this year, teachers who apply for an academic rank will have to demonstrate a lot of time spent teaching – not academic papers – as the main promotion criterion.

They are more likely to prefer texting in class to "writing academic papers" to get a raise and promotion. Just because they are assigned more class time does not mean it is productive class time.
