2.2
Upgrade the capabilities of community organizations in social development and
improving quality of life.
-
Delegate administrative authority for the provision of
education to local communities, so that they can increasingly participate
in setting educational curricula consistent with each communities’
actual circumstances and responsive to local needs, while increasing
opportunities nationwide for children finishing compulsory education to
continue their studies.
-
Provide greater access to information for the general
public, with the cooperation of community organizations, NGOs and the
public sector.
-
Provide budget assistance to NGOs and community
organizations to help them provide for under-privileged groups with poor
access to public services.
-
Improve public health services in the regions - which
will include redistribution of resources and key personnel - to close the
marked gap in service delivery between the Bangkok Metropolitan Region and
the other regions and rural areas.
-
Accelerate the restructuring of local taxation systems,
so as to generate sufficient income for local authorities to provide
universal access to social services.
