    Thai children's IQs range between 87 - 88

    Thai children's intelligence quotients have stood at between 87 and 88, significantly lower than international standard range of 100 to 110.

    Vice Minister for Education Watchara Phanchet Wednesday disclosed the findings at an academic seminar on how to make Thai children smart.

    The findings were based on the latest survey in 2002.

    "We have to develop the children both intellectually and physically because they are our country's future," Watchara said. More than 800 educators, health professionals, parents and network for disadvantaged children attended the seminar. The Mental Health Department's Rajanukul Institute organised the event.

    I would like to see a comparison of Thai children against other Asian nations children using the same IQ test.

    You'd be surprised how difficult some of them find this task.
    Equally daunting: getting to the bank during opening hours.

    Yes, speaking from past experience...

    I can't believe they tested a good cross section of Thai children. That's why the figures are skewed.

    If the wanted to do it properly, they shouldn't have just tested the gifted ones.

    That's not much of a range.
    It would suggest that the gifted ones are held back

    Nope. There are plenty of boys doing the same thing.

    The low IQ is located at the sending end on these occasions

    Looks like it is a masculine attribute to be a dumbfukc.

    Anyway, the connection between rote-learning and a low IQ is rather obvious, any plans to change the teaching methods, Minister Phanchet?

    ^
    There are a few schools up North piloting a new method called brain based learning.
    Not sure about the details, but sounds vaguely similar to western style teaching.

    Tables organised freely, rather than pointing towards the white board, lots of mingling and sharing of ideas.
