Obec secretary-general Amporn Pinasa said students should be allowed to wear casual clothes today, as students going to school to study is the best thing that could happen to society. However, Mr Amporn said that school dress codes will still apply, and each school will be required to inform parents of their dress codes. Mr Amporn said that Obec believes the Education Ministry's rule on student uniforms does not constitute a violation of student rights.
