After copycat school threats (including a one-day closure in Loei), the Education Ministry is preparing a school safety bill for cabinet approval. Checks for weapons and people entering institutions are required for now, and measures will be stringent this month. No details on the bill's content or timing were given. If you run a school, tutoring centre, or supply or service business for schools, expect tighter entry checks and possible requirements for security equipment; watch for the bill's content before committing spending.
