BANGKOK, Sept 13 — Representatives of Thailand’s teachers federations in the three southern border provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat will meet Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at Government House in the capital on Monday to discuss solutions for ending the ongoing violence and attacks on teachers.

The meeting came after two Narathiwat teachers were shot dead by presumed insurgents last Tuesday and 365 schools in the province closed the following day due to the educators’ safety concerns. All schools closed in protest were expected to reopen on Monday.

At the meeting, teachers will exchange ideas over the situation in the South and report all problems to the prime minister.
