Former education minister Somsak Prissananantakul on Monday backed the idea of providing students with a better understanding of political history. This process, where academics agree on a standard interpretation, should also be applied to other key political events, he said. According to Mr Somsak, history was frequently written by its winner rather than by "non-partisan" hands. The syllabus for social sciences will be reworked to include political history from 1932-1957 not currently taught. The Education Ministry plans to revamp the Basic Education Core Curriculum to include key political events from 1932-1957.
