HARD TASKS WITH MASKS: Students assemble on Saturday before sitting the Ordinary National Education Test at Rittiyawannalai School in Bangkok's Sai Mai district. Thailand has recently been pouring money into trying to improve its education system. "The Finns pride themselves on an educational system that offers equal opportunities for all," Sanni Grahn-Laasonen, the country's education minister, told the Bangkok Post in Helsinki recently. The education system there makes it is easy for adults or even senior citizens to return to education. "Our education system is generous enough to let burnt-out teachers take leave, recharge and come back when they are ready," she said.
