In accord with a Cabinet resolution on Tuesday, the secretary-general of the Education Council, Kamol Rodklai, has been moved to a “special advisory position” in the Prime Minister’s Office. Teerakiat said ministerial executives had been informed of the Cabinet decision and noted that the transfer was proposed by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-Ngam. He said he believed a contributing factor might have been the installation of CCTV security cameras in 12 school zones in the deep South. Teerakiat said he would name the council’s deputy secretary-general as acting secretary-general. Kamol did not take his usual role as ministry spokesman at Tuesday’s meeting of ministerial executives, but in brief remarks acknowledged the transfer and accepted the Cabinet decision.
