| Thailand What's happening in 2008: Campaigners are busy planning right now, watch this space and we'll keep you posted on what's happening... Media Coverage: 25th April - Thaindian - Thailand 23rd April – Thaindian.com – Thailand Gordon Brown to discuss Third World education with Shakira What happened in 2007? Thai law stipulates free, quality compulsory education for all, yet this is not yet a reality. In want of enforcement of the law, nearly one thousand paper chains were made by children during the JOIN UP rally in Thailand. The rally started with the Seas Gypsy communities in Phang Nga. Many in the community have suffered from social stigma from not being educated until new schools were built after the 2005 tsunami. Yet children still feel marginalised. One girl's message on the chain read: "I want the teachers to be kind to us". In Bangkok children joined a massive JOIN UP rally at the Thailand Knowledge and Santichaiprakran Parks where they expressed their views for better education, good books, clean schools and good grades. All the paper chains were collected and delivered to the Prime Minister during the start of a new school year in mid-May - giving him strict homework to keep the government's promise on Education Rights.
