4-What+can+We+Learn+from+Thailand?

There are a few ideas we could implement that Thailand has implemented. We need to increase our global awareness. It is very important for our students to understand what kind of world they are growing up in and what kind of world they will be working in. Thailand seems to have a good handle on how to implement real-world training (project-based learning) so that their students are prepared for whatever field they decide to go into.

Thailand has developed lots of learning opportunities online, with close to 90% of their higher ed institutions having implemented online learning. (Laohajaratsang) They want to increase the community's technology availability because they feel it is important that they have access. There are some things that do not work, mainly the lack of computers available to Thai students, the lack of Thailand's communities embracing new technology (only 20%), and the need for more teacher technology training. Like us, there is always an issue of budget, but it seems they have a plan in place to allocate funds to help these issues.
