"Over the past few months, teachers have been singled out for attacks by insurgents, with five teachers shot in less than a month, four of them fatally."
In response to this security breach in government schools the NSC responded, see this from the Post:
"National Security Council secretary-general Lt Gen Paradorn Patthanathabutr said the council could hand out bulletproof vests to teachers straight away.
Mr Sermsak added that each of the three southernmost provinces had been granted the authority to consider issuing gun licences to teachers so that they may legally carry them in public.
The strengthened security measures have improved morale among southern teachers, Mr Sermsak said."
Teachers the world over (especially those employed by the State) should follow in Thailand's footsteps and move to protect students in the classroom.
