Quotes
[edit]- Traditionally, Siamese boys have been educated in Buddhist [monasteries], and more than 77 per cent of the local public schools, and 23 per cent of the government schools, are located in monasteries.
- Encyclopaedia Americana (1952) quoted in Ram Swarup, On Hinduism (2000)
- “Thailand needs more than book fairs in Bangkok. Books should travel to schools or malls, offering free reading activities. Without this outreach, books remain inaccessible,” [Pincha Lekpetch, owner of Reangrun Publishing] said. …[Shopworker and mother Keerati Boonpradit said,] “If the government can give out cash, why not free books for [children]? It would make a huge difference.”
- "Rural Thai children face a reading crisis through little access to books" (December 17, 2024)
