Ministry of Higher Education Adjusts Learning Formats Due to Flooding
The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation has ordered educational institutions in flood-affected areas to modify their teaching methods to ensure safety and continuity.
Educational Adjustments Amidst Flooding
On September 27, 2026, the Thailand Government Public Relations Department reported that the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) has issued a directive to educational institutions located in regions currently impacted by severe flooding. The ministry has instructed these institutions to adjust their learning and teaching formats to accommodate the ongoing environmental challenges.
Impact on Residents and Students
For students and residents living in affected provinces, this directive aims to maintain academic continuity while prioritizing the safety of the campus community. By allowing for flexible learning arrangements, the ministry seeks to mitigate the risks associated with traveling through flooded areas and potential campus disruptions.
Current Status and Outlook
While the ministry has mandated these adjustments, the specific implementation strategies—such as the transition to online learning or the temporary suspension of on-site activities—will be determined by individual institutions based on the severity of the situation in their respective localities. Residents and students are advised to monitor official announcements from their specific universities or colleges for localized updates. At this time, the duration of these modified learning measures remains subject to the evolution of the flood situation, and further guidance is expected as conditions change.
