All children must know their educational roles and responsibilities to increase their skills, knowledge, and abilities, always seeking different experiences that fit their abilities and interests. It encourages every child to have discipline, be responsible, have respect, listen to the teachings of parents and teachers, follow social rules, be generous and help society at every opportunity.

“The Ministry of Labour recognizes children’s value and quality of life. Therefore, it organized Children’s Day activities under the slogan “Thai children love learning and are ready to work” to encourage children to learn in their fields of expertise and interest so that after graduation, they can step into the labour market with quality, skills, and knowledge, and be part of a quality workforce. On the occasion of this year’s National Children’s Day, I wish for all children who are valuable resources to the nation to keep practicing and developing in different activities that are beneficial to their skills and experience so that they can apply their knowledge to live happily, develop the nation and the country to prosper in the future,” concluded Mr. Boonchob.
