"This committee will look into all systems including the planned electric train route from Mor Chit to Saphan Mai," Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin said yesterday.

He was speaking after a meeting to discuss the recent Cabinet resolution to assign the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand to take charge of the Mor Chit-Saphan Mai electric-train project.

Training coupons

The Office of the Basic Education Commission will start handing out training coupons to government teachers in the upcoming semester.

"We plan to give coupons to leading schools first because they have a great impact on others," secretary-general Khunying Kasama Varawarn said yesterday.

Choosy students

Some 4,000 students in Bangkok Educational Area 2 do not attend schools assigned to them as they wish to get into more prestigious ones.

Area 2 now have 22,000 students. Therefore 4,263 others - mostly students from outside the area's jurisdiction - were left with nowhere to study yet.
