The Ministry of Education is stepping up efforts to enhance safety within educational institutions. Recently, Deputy Education Minister Akanant Kannakitnunt served as the chairperson for the inaugural meeting of the Rights, Liberty, and Safety Protection Center to establish clear operational guidelines.
The meeting was organized to ensure that the center operates effectively beyond being merely a policy-level framework. It must function seamlessly from receiving complaints and coordinating with relevant agencies to resolving issues and following up to guarantee thorough public support.
"What I want to see from this center is a decrease in incidents, aiming for zero. We must not wait for problems to occur before solving them; instead, we must prevent issues from arising in the first place."

The Deputy Education Minister stressed during the meeting that traditional reactive working methods must be replaced with proactive strategies to keep teachers and students out of high-risk situations, with the ultimate goal of minimizing safety incidents.
This proactive push by the Ministry of Education highlights ongoing efforts to tackle institutional safety challenges. Historically, school safety and teacher welfare issues suffered from fragmented agency coordination, making cross-departmental integration and clear accountability vital for systemic prevention.
Furthermore, performance is evaluated by tangible public relief rather than bureaucratic metrics.
Mr. Akanant also noted that the true key performance indicator is not the frequency of meetings held or the volume of documents produced, but whether citizens receive faster assistance, whether problems decline, and whether the public trusts the government.
Finally, the Deputy Education Minister urged all related departments to collaborate systematically, emphasizing that safeguarding rights, liberties, and safety cannot be achieved by any single organization working in isolation.
