5. Is Education important, Why? • Education gives knowledge of world around us • It helps us give opinions and also debate on many things • It also teaches us the right behavior, manners and how to lead and live our lives • It equips us with all things needed to make our dreams true • Opens opportunities to a great career • Also wipes out all the bad beliefs • It builds a confidence to make decisions throughout your life • It tells you how to accept failures and successes

TIME LINE • 1283 king create Thai alphabet • 1360 created first textbook in Thai • 1851 printing press arrived • Books were made • 1882 first Thai school opened, only boys allowed • 1897 girls allowed • 1960 7 years education • 2006 computers and bilingual teachers came to Thailand • www.sunny.hu/thailand/thai_language_dictionary/writing_thai1.gif
