A new educational facility in southern Thailand, built with financial support from Japan, is set to welcome children who have fled fighting in Myanmar.
From the article:
The new building is an addition to the existing facilities in Phang-nga that are operated by a local non-governmental organization. The group has struggled with a surge in the number of children arriving from Myanmar with their families since a military coup two years ago.
Japan’s government provided about 13 million yen, or nearly 90,000 dollars, in financial assistance for the construction…
The executive director of the non-governmental group, Htoo Chit, thanked Japan for providing the new facility. The official said Myanmar’s educational system has been paralyzed, and that the group’s goal is to provide higher education and help migrant children find jobs in Thailand.
Oba Yuichi, a senior official at the Japanese embassy in Thailand, said Japan is committed to helping to provide educational opportunities for children from Myanmar. He added that, given the worsening situation in Myanmar, Japan plans to continue to provide neighboring Thailand with humanitarian assistance for children.
@livus Keep an eye on the Japanese teachers, they’re so porite, so crean!
I don’t really understand this, sorry.
@livus There are stories every day of Japanese teachers who go FULL CHOMO on students.
@Japan I’m confused. Your profile says
Hello! I love Japan and I am an Education Consultant and Coach of Teachers in Japan!
But your post history is full of this “porite, crean” thing, and now you are saying Japanese teaching refugee students are likely to be child molesters???
@livus Japan has a history of problems in this area. Not me, not you, but the people who live here. Just like Japan has a problem with not being able to so NO TO RICE!
