5+-+Summary

It seems that the Thai education system is similar to ours in its core courses and the promotion of lifelong learning. They are aware of the global community and that it needs to be addressed in learning as it becomes important in whichever career they choose. The educational system needs more hardware to support the students, and professional development to support their teachers. All of this is being planned for and it sounds like their government is budgeting for the technology needs. Like the US and other countries, Thailand wants their citizens and students to have access to the global community, which will help them compete and excel both in education and professionally. What both countries need to realize is that this all needs to happen so that everyone involved will take part. There is no government leader or school board member that will be able to get everyone on board if they are not on board themselves. We must lead by example in order for change to happen.
