of Separatism SOUTH

The southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala were for centuries the independent sultanate of Pattani, Thailand until the conquest of 1786.

But only in 1902 have been subjected to Bangkok via direct administration of the late '40s and have been an attempt at "assimilation" by the military, which has supported the separatist drive.

Between 1975 and 1976 formed a separatist state for a few months (flag) .

separatism since 2004 has evolved into daily violence and bombings against the Buddhist population, with more than 2,500 dead. Experts say that the arm armed with this violence is the National Revolutionary Front, but the investigative department of the army believe that indoctrination and recruitment of terrorists takes place in schools.

secessionist revolt in southern Thailand is centered around the widespread Islamic schools (pondoks) and religious teachers (Ustase) that recruit and educate a new generation of young, radical and loyal to the separatist cause. Experts say that only by acting in Bangkok schools will take away from the militant rebel base and foster integration of the south in the country.

sometimes generic and unfounded allegations against teachers and schools by the military only serve to trigger more violence and resentment in the Muslim population. Islamic teachers say that they are in Indonesia "to study religion, not how to make bombs," and often "military officials accuse us just to look good", regardless that this makes them "lose their jobs" and they " forcing her to flee abroad.

For years, Bangkok has not taken this reality or, worse, tried to force students to attend Thai public schools. Now try to improve education, including through agreements with neighboring Malaysia Islamic. But we need to improve the programs, the education level and selection of teachers, teaching materials: the only way you can steal the schools from the influence of local Muslim leaders.
