Government plays a significant role in providing public services to its citizens. When crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic threaten the public, the leading role of government becomes crucial. This study examines the perceptions of healthcare and education professionals of the level of success of the Thai government’s actions and policy implementations when responding to the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the mixed-method research approach showed that health professionals thought the government’s actions pertaining to ‘risk communication (to the public)’ was ‘good.’ However, both professions thought the government’s reaction to the pandemic was ‘fair’ in the following domains: risk assessment, regulatory actions, border control and travel bans, proactive risk management, and economic and budgetary responses. Overall, according to the findings, the government’s response to the pandemic left significant room for improvement.

“…Social inequality has become a fundamental issue of concern for countries across the globe when attempting to secure the well-being of their society members. It has been shown to have a detrimental effect on individuals, families, and communities, leading to lower life satisfaction, increased stress, and poorer physical and mental wellbeing (Bui and Pal, 2022 ; Klinsrisuk and Pechdin, 2022 ; Kumar et al, 2022 ; Pal et al, 2022 ). Furthermore, these disparities in privilege have led to unequal access to healthcare, education, and economic resources, all of which can negatively impact the quality of life (Jodhka et al, 2017 ).…”

As the prevalence of social inequalities has become increasingly evident, the implementation of social welfare policies in countries across the globe has faced considerable obstacles and has not yielded the desired results. In spite of the fact that social welfare policies are formulated to reduce inequalities in society, the recent increase in inequalities has raised questions about whether or not welfare implementation is appropriate to the social context where resource distributions are dominated by economic structure. Inspired by this, the aim of this paper is to echo contemporary perspectives on social inequality and challenges that have contributed to its development under the economic system of market competition. The contemporary matters arising from social inequalities, which include intergenerational inequality, gender-based inequality, health inequality, and education inequality, are examined in accordance with the context of market competition. This would hopefully enable academicians to timely recognize and address ideological and paradoxical social inequalities and welfare development within their society.

“…After this in March 26, 2020, the Thai government declared a state of emergency to control the spread of COVID-19 [ 3 , 4 ]. During the state of emergency, the education in Thailand became disrupted and all teaching and learning was transferred from face-to-face learning to online and distance learning [ 5 ]. Some of the crucial issues that resulted from this were learning loss, the worsening of the psychosocial health status of both the teachers and students, and an increase in the workload of teachers and students while teaching or studying [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Some of the crucial issues that resulted from this were learning loss, the worsening of the psychosocial health status of both the teachers and students, and an increase in the workload of teachers and students while teaching or studying [ 6 , 7 ].

Consequently, the students did not learn wholly as they were supposed to through their new educational system [ 5 , 9 ]. Teachers had to adjust their teaching techniques, learning management, and their teaching platform into a form of online learning or virtual classroom to maintain the continuation of their students’ learning [ 12 , 13 ].…”

This study aims to explore the perceptions, perspectives, and experiences of teachers with regards to learning loss and psychological health issues among students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. Methods Descriptive qualitative research was employed to gain a richer understanding of this interesting phenomenon. The experiences of twelve primary and secondary teachers were looked into by dividing them into several focus groups and interviewing them through video conferencing. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed through the use of content analysis. Results The findings that include the perceptions, perspectives, and experiences among teachers focused on three main themes, which are teaching and Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and support to deal with the psychosocial issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. These are then divided into fifteen sub themes. Conclusions Through these findings, this study is able to provide an understanding of the perceptions, perspectives, and experiences of teachers regarding learning loss and psychosocial issues among students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. It also highlights the psychological issues that were met, the social and family support offered, ways how learning loss among students could have been prevented in the midst of the pandemic, and finally suggests what the education administrators and healthcare or public health sector administrators can do to enhance the quality of education and resilience skills of the students during and after the pandemic.
