CONNEXT ED Foundation Strengthens Tri-Sector Collaboration for Thai Education
The CONNEXT ED Foundation held its 2026 annual meeting to coordinate efforts between the government, civil society, and 64 private organizations across 7,023 schools.
On September 29, 2026, the CONNEXT ED Foundation convened its annual general meeting and tri-sector collaboration summit at True Digital Park (West) in Bangkok. Led by Privy Councilor General Dapong Ratanasuwan, who serves as the honorary advisory chairman, the event brought together representatives from the public sector, civil society, and 64 private sector organizations.
The primary objective of this initiative is to accelerate the development of the Thai education system through a unified, sustainable approach. The foundation currently oversees a network of 7,023 CONNEXT ED schools nationwide, aiming to create measurable impacts and tangible educational outcomes for students.
For residents and expatriates, this development highlights a significant ongoing effort to modernize and standardize educational quality across Thailand. While the foundation has established a clear framework for cooperation, the specific long-term impacts on individual school curricula and the timeline for the next phase of implementation remain to be confirmed. The initiative underscores a collaborative model that seeks to bridge the gap between private sector resources and public educational needs, potentially influencing the future landscape of local schooling. Further details regarding specific project rollouts in rural versus urban areas have not yet been disclosed.
