Soldiers have been ordered to take more stringent measures to provide security for teachers of schools in the deep South, particularly in Narathiwat.

The Commander of Army Region 4, Lt Gen Udomchai Thammasarorat, has given the order following the murder of a teacher in Narathiwat last week.

More than 300 schools in Narathiwat are scheduled to resume classes on Monday. They had been ordered closed on Friday and Saturday for safety reasons after Chonlathee Charoenchol, 51, a teacher at Ban Tanyong School in Bacho district, was shot dead in front of his students on Jan 23.

What statement now is this...sectarian violence? How do we know it's sectarian driven? Nobody has ever been arrested and interrogated to establish this. It could be any motor cycle gunmen hired to do the killings under contract. So they are sending more soldiers now to protect teachers, well let's see how they perform, meanwhile try to catch some of the killers in the act, if you get close enough and at least keep one alive for interrogation as it may help lead to more arrests. It's a concern though if the police, army commanders know who the masterminds are but are paid enough to keep silent for fear of exposing the truth.

A measure that has long been needed to protect teachers from extinction in those provinces.
