NiE takes off in Thailand


Who would pay 1,000 baht (RM97) for a four-page “newspaper” produced by a primary school pupil? The honour went to none other than Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra! 

The Thai Rath Wattaya 75 primary school managed to sell a copy of their pupil's work to the VIP when he visited the school in September. And the woman behind both the school newspaper project and the sale of the paper was teacher Jira Jitcharnvichai, the project advisor.
