Thailand - Secondary Education for Employment (Vol. 1 of 2) : Policy Note
The study aims at assisting the
Government in undertaking an evaluation of the system of
secondary education, and skills development, in order to
plan the many complex decisions, and future international
finance assistance in the sector. The objectives of the
study are to determine general employment trends, including
a sampling of employer views on skill development; to
evaluate the cost effectiveness, and quality of present
academic, and vocational secondary education; and, to
develop alternative scenarios for expansion of secondary
education. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the changing
Thai economy, and documents the growing importance of
education, and skills for global competitiveness. An
overview of labor market trends, and human capital
development demonstrates the under-education of
Thailand's labor force, thus reinforcing the need for
high-quality education, and training for demand-driven
skills development. Chapter 2 presents the factors
motivating change in the system of education, and, examines
the market forces driving the need for reform, and, argues
the needs of the private sector rival those of most
developed countries. Chapters 3 and 4, discusses the
principles, and implications of governance, and
administration, while arguing that certain principles,
including attention to market forces, should guide policy
decision-making. Chapter 5 stresses on the quality of
education outcomes, by setting performance standards,
assessing student, teacher, and school performance, and,
harnessing technology to support education, and learning
development, while Chapter 6, examines the cost implications
of the reform program. The background papers look beyond
schooling, examining the actual recruitment of workers in
this increasing global economy.
