Genesis MediaCom launches 15 strategic initiatives to transform education and empower people in Thailand.
Witaya Mitsattha, Managing Director of Genesis MediaCom said Education and human development remain the cornerstone of national progress. As Thailand navigates the challenges of a rapidly evolving world, a comprehensive transformation—spanning digital infrastructure, curriculum modernization, and skills development—is imperative to equip citizens with the tools for lifelong success. Investing in people, after all, is the most valuable investment for the country’s future.
Addressing Key Challenges in Thai Education
Thailand’s education system faces several pressing issues:
- Educational Inequality: Many schools, particularly in remote areas, lack proper infrastructure, high-speed internet, digital tools, and modern learning materials.
- Outdated Curriculum: Rote memorization remains dominant, with insufficient emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy.
- Inefficient Educational Management: Frequent policy shifts, budget constraints, and inflexible systems hinder the ability of school administrators to improve educational quality.
- Limited Parental Engagement: Weak school-parent communication prevents families from effectively supporting children’s learning journeys.
