Pol. Gen. Permpoon Chidchob, Minister of Education, stated that from now on everyone will see the change in Thai education and invites people to come together to revolutionize Thai education because one person is doing it alone. cannot He will be a part of helping create rapid and urgent educational change. Glad to see today that the private sector has come to help support education more. The first thing that everyone will see is the new generation that is keeping up with the world and seeing the results of Pisa’s evaluation next year. It is expected that it will definitely be better than in the past and I am glad to see the private sector helping to support education more.
Jirayu reiterates that the government is ready to solve all aspects of education problems.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jirayu Huangsap, government spokesperson, spoke of hopes for education in Thailand, saying that now we must look at the needs of the world. What kind of education do you want? that will be in line with business and industry Just like the vocational education institutions that came into existence 20 years ago, including Thairath Wittaya School. which is a youth nurturing institute Although many people may think that education may be inferior. But for him it is still better than hundreds of other countries. The government will strive to solve various problems.
As for the government’s correction and development of education in the remaining 3-year term, Mr. Jirayu said that solving basic problems That is, after graduating, there is no certification. or unable to find work The long-term part is the National Economic and Social Development Plan. Educational matters May contain the subject of a second language In the past, you might have only studied English or French, but the world has changed a lot now. He believes that the government will take a short time to resolve this issue.
“Chulapan” points out that the Pheu Thai policy promotes lifelong learning for everyone.
Mr. Chulaphan Amornvivat, Deputy Finance Minister, wants to see Thai education be equitable. have an equal chance Whether children in the provinces or children in Bangkok There should be equal opportunity to access education. Everyone can learn according to their highest potential. This is their hope. Of course, this is something that the government must drive. For example, the policy of the Pheu Thai Party is to encourage everyone to learn throughout their lives. This is one mechanism that will allow everyone to have access to appropriate education. We hope that within the reign of Ms. Pae Thongthan’s government We will see education changing. Moving towards international standards Even though the Ministry of Education is not a ministry that the Pheu Thai Party takes care of. But whoever comes from the people already has the intention to work for the people.
“Ying Noi” points out that Thai education must urgently adjust the curriculum to use AI to help.
Meanwhile, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, leader of the Thai Sang Thai Party, stated that Thai education must be completely reformed. Because there are still problems starting with the curriculum. Method of thinking in teaching children It also uses memorization rather than creativity. It must be acknowledged that we currently have a very high educational inequality between the rich and the poor. between city children and rural children In remote rural areas, there is still a single teacher who teaches every subject and class. The more we come face to face with a world that is changing rapidly with technology, it makes Thai education backward.
Personally, I support the use of technology as a tool in educational reform. Like the Thairath Foundation that has built a school. It must be acknowledged that some places are more modern than government schools. From the earliest times Try to encourage children to use computers. He would like to say that today we must urgently adjust the teaching curriculum, use it online, use the best teachers in the country to teach at schools along the mountain tops. Allow children to interact and respond to teachers. and use the AI system to help
Khunying Sudarat See that the cause of Thai education is going backwards or behind other ASEAN countries This may be because the political side looks at short-term solutions. Because it must be done quickly to get votes to show results within 4 years, but solving educational problems takes time. When technology comes in to help, from now on solving educational problems won’t take a long time for us to dare to do it. And use a small budget too. I want to see it here. It’s not too far-fetched. Results may be seen within 2-3 years if we really overhaul Thai education.
“Ekanat” suggests selecting “head teachers” in active age groups to help develop education.
Mr. Ekanat Promphan, Minister of Industry and Secretary General of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party Looking at new era skills modern skills including survival creative thinking Think analytically as a leader It is a skill that we need to teach youth. Find a way to make the new generation absorb it. Really, especially in the age of technology, making education accessible to everyone. Easier access to knowledge resources At the same time, it is a double-edged sword. We have to use it wisely, use it correctly. “I think that if we think carefully Use technology to help The educational gap can be narrowed. This makes the source of knowledge and educational information more accessible to youth and everyone.”
Mr. Ekanat also believes that if Thai education is to be improved, in the seminar “Empowering Through Education” there is a set of ideas that he finds very interesting. From the analysis, the person who has the most impact on education is the “Principal.” If it can be distributed to school directors so that the Principal can be more involved. Select the head teacher to include someone who is younger and more active. Importantly, the private sector must be involved in supporting science and budget. To allow all parties to participate in the development of Thai education. Do not let your thoughts be concentrated with just one group of people.
