Thai Education Council Collaborates with International Partners to Analyze Global Data
The Office of the Education Council (OEC) held a workshop in Bangkok to integrate international education assessment data into national policy planning.
On November 5, 2026, the Office of the Education Council (OEC) hosted a workshop at the Royal River Hotel in Bangkok to discuss the integration of international education assessment data into Thailand's national education strategy. The event focused on analyzing reports such as 'Education at a Glance' (EAG) and PISA results to refine educational development policies.
Dr. Pichet Phophakdee, Secretary-General of the OEC, presided over the meeting, which included representatives from the OECD, UNICEF Thailand, the British Council Thailand, and the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST). The initiative aligns with the Ministry of Education's 'All for Education' policy, which emphasizes data-driven decision-making and cross-sector collaboration to improve the national curriculum and educational outcomes.
For residents and expatriates, this development signals a long-term government commitment to aligning Thai educational standards with global benchmarks. While the workshop marks a significant step in policy formulation, specific changes to school curricula or educational requirements for students remain to be confirmed as the OEC continues to synthesize these international findings into actionable national plans.
