Thread: Yala :Teachers 'fed up' with security plans

Teachers in the deep South said yesterday they were fed up with the government's security plans to protect them as all of them had failed to prevent lives being lost.

Sanya Suwannapho, president of Yala Teachers Federation, complained that authorities were completely unable to contain the violence and only repeated the same promises every time to teachers.
He was speaking after a meeting with Khunying Kasama Warawan, secretary-general of the Primary Education Committee, in Yala. Kasama visited the region to give teachers moral support after the brutal murders of two teachers who were set on fire after being shot.
"All of us are bored of meetings with senior officials and listening to old security plans which never work," Sanya said, adding that the government should adjust its tactics to deal with the situation.
"Please do not merely talk about reconciliation - it does not work," Sanya said. The government should employ tough measures to bring down the militants, he added.
