Ministry of Interior Launches 11th 'New Generation' Civil Servant Training

On August 25, 2026, the Thailand Government Public Relations Department reported that Deputy Permanent Secretary Nirat Pongsitthavorn presided over the opening of the 11th 'New Generation' civil servant training program. The initiative aims to cultivate a new cohort of Ministry of Interior officials, referred to as 'young lions,' to serve the public effectively.

During the event, the Deputy Permanent Secretary urged participants to maintain a commitment to integrity and good governance. He encouraged the trainees to adopt a mindset of continuous learning—described as being like a cup that is never full—and to remain proactive in their duties until their eventual retirement. The program is designed to instill a strong sense of duty and ethical standards in those entering the civil service.

For residents and expatriates, this development highlights the government's ongoing efforts to modernize and improve the efficiency of local administrative services. While the training focuses on internal bureaucratic culture, it reflects a broader administrative push toward more responsive public management. It remains to be confirmed how these specific training modules will translate into tangible improvements in service delivery at local district offices. As this is an internal government capacity-building initiative, there are no immediate changes to public-facing procedures or administrative requirements for residents at this time.
