CLASS IS IN SESSION

Last Saturday, a crowd of children with their families, as well as politicians
and their supporters, braved the blistering summer heat to gather at the
"Candidate Classroom" event where representatives of six political parties
discussed Thai education and the rights of children within schools. Styled as a
game show, "Candidate Classroom" saw politicians face off in a lively debate
with cheers, boos and music filling the One Arena at Stadium One in Bangkok.
