Thai students ranked 8th in classroom manners
NNT 2011-05-25

BANGKOK, 25 May 2011 (NNT) – Thailand has been included in the list of top ten countries whose students have the very best classroom manners, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Japan was found to have students with the best classroom manners, followed by students from Kazakhstan, China (Shanghai), Hong Kong, Romania, South Korea and Azerbaijan. Thailand was ranked eighth in the list, followed by Albania and Russia.

It can be seen that seven out of the ten nations are in Asia while the other three are in Europe. Among the rest on the list, England was in the 28th place, above France and Italy.

The study conducted in 2009 found that students worldwide talked or interrupted classes less compared with those in 2000. It was earlier worrying that students worldwide would talk or interrupt classes more; however, the survey has proven that students have improved their manners.

In addition, the survey implied that China has become one of the superpowers in education with both Shanghai and Hong Kong included in the top ten.

I'm surprised its not not nearer the top!!!!!Within the schools I taught in over here,I found student behaviour to be ecellent

Behaviour in the classroom here is far too good!  The kids lack spirit, and are prepared for nothing but rote learning;  no questioning the teacher, not even a bit of devilment!  (Hong Kong too, though there they do ask questions).
