Thai children spend long hours in school, but the quality of their education is poor. A study shows that over half of 15-year-olds in Thailand struggle to apply math and science concepts to everyday problems. The curriculum has not changed significantly in the past 22 years, failing to develop well-rounded competencies and prioritize skills needed in today’s fast-changing world. Attempts to reform the curriculum face resistance from teachers and stakeholders. The new education minister, Pol Gen Permpool Chidchob, must prioritize curriculum reform to improve the education system and ensure students are prepared for the future.
