AI Integration Enhances Small Schools at Sustainability Expo 2026
Srinakharinwirot University and the Suthirat Yoovidhya Foundation are utilizing AI to support small schools, aiming to reduce teacher workloads and improve educational equity.
At the Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026) held on November 14, 2026, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, experts discussed the transformation of classrooms in a rapidly changing world. A key highlight was the initiative to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into small schools to alleviate administrative burdens on teachers and enhance overall teaching efficiency. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chanat Poondej, Director of the Office of Learning Culture at Srinakharinwirot University (SWU), shared insights on how this technology creates more equitable educational opportunities. The project, a collaboration between SWU and the Suthirat Yoovidhya Foundation, has already been implemented in 79 schools. For residents and those interested in Thailand's educational landscape, this initiative represents a significant shift toward digital modernization in rural or smaller academic settings. While the initial rollout covers 79 institutions, the long-term impact on student performance and the scalability of these AI tools across the broader national school system remain to be confirmed. The project underscores a growing trend of leveraging technology to bridge the gap between resource-rich and resource-limited educational environments in Thailand.
