On August 29, 2026, Deputy Minister of Education Akaranan Kannkittinan conducted an official visit to Chaiyaphum province to assess the conditions of four educational institutions: Non Ya Kha Nong Sa Phitthayakhom School, Ruam Rat Witthayanukun School, Ban Mueang Klang Witthaya School, and Ban Nong Saeng School.
According to Khaosod Online, the visit aimed to monitor the implementation of Ministry of Education policies, specifically focusing on school safety, vocational skill development, and the challenges faced by teachers and students in remote areas. During the inspection, the Deputy Minister examined dilapidated school buildings and infrastructure, highlighting the urgent need for improvements to ensure a secure learning environment. Akaranan emphasized that the Ministry is committed to reducing educational inequality by supporting small, remote schools and fostering a curriculum based on sufficiency economy principles.
For residents and those interested in the region, this visit underscores the government's ongoing efforts to address disparities in rural education.
