The violence in Southern Thailand has left more than 2,000 children, Orphaned, and a further 1,000 widows, with governments offering some compensation, 573,000 baht (US$16,500) to 130 victims of violence in the three southern border provinces. Each injured person received 3,000,baht while 6,000 baht was presented to relatives or heirs of deceased victims. This obviously does nothing for the pain, or loss of a parent and the bread winner/s, especially when part of the blame are the policies of the governments, in the first place. Meanwhile, Kasama Varawan Na Ayudhaya, Secretary-General of the Office of the Basic Education Commission said that 130 high school students from the five southern border provinces will be given scholarships to study in famous schools in Bangkok during their last school year to prepare for enteringuniversity. The Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre (SBPAC) will select 130 students with good performance and those who were affected by the southern violence. Classes will begin in 13 Bangkok schools in June.She said scholarships offered to the southern students are an effective way to help solve the problem of students who are good at study but lack opportunity.
