The Education Ministry Monday vowed to scrap three populist policies floated by the previous administration.

"We will not focus too much on technology and materials. We will focus on substance," Education Minister Wijit Srisaarn said Monday.

When Thaksin Shinawatra was at the helm, his government promised to procure 250,000 computers along with Internet broadband access to state schools, and also to give a low-cost laptop for every primary student.

"We don't request budget to finance such ideas," Wijit said.
