Thailand Wanted A Quality Education for All Report 2016Peerasak C.
Key Findings
Over the past two and a half decades, Thailand has made great progress in expanding basic education, closing the gap in attendance between socio-economic groups through sustained efforts to expand school coverage and compulsory education.
All children in Thailand receive 12 years of free basic education, plus 3 years of pre-primary schooling.
Secondary school net enrollment rose impressively from 31% in 1990 to 78% in 2011.
82% of girls are enrolled in secondary education, 8% higher than boys.
However, a greater emphasis on the quality of education is needed to further equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to get good jobs.
One-third of 15-year-old Thai students are “functionally illiterate” or they read so poorly that they struggle to understand the meaning of what they have just read.
The problem is particularly acute for students enrolled in village schools in rural areas, where 47% of 15-year-old students are functionally illiterate.
On average, a 15-year-old student in Vietnam is around 1.5 years ahead of the 15-year-old Thai student academically.
Small schools, especially, face their own set of challenges. These schools are much more expensive to operate and do not generally deliver high quality education.
The number of primary school students fell from 7.45 million in 1982 to 5 million in 2012 due to falling birth rates.
The number of small schools with less than 20 students per grade increased dramatically from 15,000 in 1993 to 19,800 in 2010.
Small schools are hindered by a severe lack of teachers, teaching materials and physical infrastructure
How to improve the quality of small schools and ensure quality education for all?
Reducing the number of small, costly and poorly performing schools to create bigger and better resourced ones by re-organizing the school network.
Providing bigger budgets to the remaining small schools which are isolated.
Providing training and stronger incentives to attract quality teachers to the re-organized school networks and the isolated small schools.
Increasing school autonomy over staff management. Principals know best who to hire for their schools.
Strengthening evaluations of teachers and schools based on student outcomes can lead to improved student performance.

Experiencing tough history and indigence after war, investing in and training human resources became a
priority task for the government. Education has thus been key in the reconstruction and growth of the
country. While Korea quickly attained high level of enrollment and performance, this success didn’t come
without drawbacks. The intense competition in education gradually led to seriously jeopardize student’s well-being. In this context, this presentation will assess and diagnose the strength and weakness of the Korean education system and provide recommendations focusing on the following question: How can Korea combine outstanding academic performance with students’ well-being?

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
