Management Reform
The changing society, especially in business and industrial sectors, will be the main driving force that paves the way for Thailand to become a “learning society” where continuing and lifelong education will actively play a dramatic role in updating the knowledge and skills of the people.
Realizing the need for changes in educational roles and management, the Ministry of Education, under my administration, has introduced several changes as part of the education reform.
The goal of the reform is to realize the potential of Thai people to develop themselves for a better quality of life and to develop the nation for peaceful co-existence in the world community.
I would like to spend a few minutes more to elaborate on the policy and implementation of education reform after the opening session.
That is why I have to call upon academics and officials in the Ministry to launch a reform.
The educational reform has been focused and implemented in four main areas, namely,the school, the teacher, the curriculum, and the adminstrative system.
At the very beginning, the crucial element to be considered for education reform is the management system.
The administrative power, in particular, has to be shifted to local authorities, and local participation in the school management is essentially encouraged.
We cannot deny that people who know more about the educational needs of local people are those who work and live within that community.
The reason we have to reform is that there has been a wide economic gap between people in the urban and rural areas.
