The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation says universities will open for the next term on June 14, even though it can’t be sure whether the Covid-19 outbreak will ease by then.
Duangrit Benjathikul Chairungruang, ministry spokesperson, said it has designated June 14 for the opening of the next semester.
Lessons are to be conducted online and on-site, depending on the Covid-19 situation at various locations where universities are located, Mr Duangrit said.
A higher education commission is expected to set online education standards to maintain a consistent education quality across the board.
However, vaccination is a key factor in expediting on-site education, Mr Duangrit said. If teachers and students are vaccinated before the next semester, the education sector and society as a whole will be safe, he said.
