Triam Udom Suwinthawong Wins 'Model Parliament' Competition
Triam Udom Suwinthawong School has secured victory in the 'Model Parliament' competition, with plans announced to expand the event nationwide by 2027.
On August 19, 2026, the 'Model Parliament' competition concluded with Triam Udom Suwinthawong School emerging as the champion. The award ceremony was presided over by Sophon Sarum, President of the National Assembly and Speaker of the House of Representatives, who presented the honors to the winning participants.
According to Thai Post, the event aims to foster civic engagement and political awareness among the youth. Following the success of this iteration, Speaker Sophon expressed his satisfaction with the students' performance and announced intentions to expand the competition to a national level by 2027. The goal of this future expansion is to identify talented students from across Thailand, referred to as 'new parliamentary stars,' to encourage deeper involvement in the democratic process.
For residents and those interested in Thai social development, this initiative highlights a growing emphasis on youth political education. While the competition serves as an educational platform, it remains to be seen how the 2027 national expansion will be structured and what specific criteria will be used to select participants from various provinces. As of now, the event remains a domestic educational project focused on parliamentary simulation rather than a formal political body.
