BANGKOK -Suthep Chittayawong, deputy secretary of Thailand’s Office of Basic Education Commission, has ordered schools to carry out urgent background checks on the country’s foreign teachers after Australian convicted pedophile Peter Dundas Walbran was discovered teaching children in north-eastern Thailand.
