Students in Thailand begin new school year with eased uniform, hairstyle rules
Students in Thailand are starting the second week of the new school year, and they are finally getting what some feel are long overdue changes. Earlier this year, a court ruled that mandating how students should wear their hair violated individual rights and is out of touch with today's society. A new Education Ministry directive also exempts students from having to wear Scout uniforms about once a week, in order to relieve parents of the financial burden. Saksith Saiyasombut reports from Bangkok.
